Hydrogen is a reactive gas that requires special storage. Porous material from activated carbon can be used as an alternative storage. Activated carbon is derived from materials containing carbon. Chicken feather is one of the materials that can be used for activated carbon. There are two forms of samples, powder and briquette. The activation process is done physically with variation temperature 200, 300, 400 and 600 °C, activation time 60 minutes and flow rate of nitrogen 0.2 L/min. Activated carbon is analysed by Fourier Transform InfraRed (FTIR), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Percent of carbon produced is 62.90 wt.%. The FTIR results show that bond of C-H appears at 641-1362 cm −1 , C-C at 1442 cm −1 , C=C at 1600-1657 cm −1 , C≡C at 2130-2220 cm −1 . The result of BET for powder samples is 137.147 m 2 /gr (200 °C), 0.133 m 2 /g (300 °C) and 0.000 m 2 /g (400 °C). While for briquette samples are 77.387 m 2 /g (200 °C), 0.369 m 2 /g (300 °C) and 2.629 m 2 /g (400 °C). The SEM results show that pores appear on the briquette sample are much more and more visible than the powdered samples due to the agglomeration, obtained 16.01% (200 °C); 0.88% (300 °C) and 5.69% (400 °C).
