Describes is a sorption store for storing gaseous substances. The sorption store for storing gaseous substances comprises a closed tank and a feeding device, which comprises a passage through the tank wall, through which a gas can flow into the tank. The tank has inside it at least one separating element, which is configured in such a way that the interior of the tank is divided into at least one pair of channels comprising two parallel running channel-shaped compartments, the ends of which are in connection with one another in each case by way of a common space, each channel-shaped compartment being filled at least partially with an adsorption medium. The feeding device is designed in such a way that inflowing gas is diverted almost exclusively into one of the two compartments of each pair of channels.
