Hydrogen offers a route to storing renewable electricity and lowering greenhouse gas emissions. Metal{\textendash}organic framework (MOF) adsorbents are promising candidates for hydrogen storage, but a deep understanding of their potential for large-scale, stationary back-up power applications has been lacking. Here we utilize techno-economic analysis and process modelling, which leverage molecular simulation and experimental results, to evaluate the future opportunities of MOF-stored hydrogen for back-up power applications and set critical targets for future material development. We show that with carefully designed charging{\textendash}discharging patterns, MOFs coupled with electrolysers and fuel cells are economically comparable with contemporary incumbent energy-storage technologies in back-up power applications. Future research should target developing MOFs with 15\ g\ kg-1\ of recoverable hydrogen adsorbed (excess uptake) and could be manufactured for under US$10\ kg-1\ to make the on-site storage system a leading option for back-up power applications.
