Hydrogen is stored in hydrogen tanks, sometimes known as cartridges or canisters. The first fuel cell cars with type IV tanks on the road are the Toyota FCHV, Mercedes-Benz F-Cell, and the GM HydroGen4. The first type IV hydrogen tanks for compressed hydrogen at 700 bars (70 MPa; 10,000 psi) were exhibited.
Different H2 storage situations have been developed thanks to a variety of applications. The Hy-Can consortium recently unveiled a diminutive one-litre, 10 bars (1.0 MPa; 150 psi) configuration. A consumer-use metal hydride form factor with a 3 megapascals (30 bar; 440 psi) capacity is now available from Horizon Fuel Cells under the name HydroStik.
Gaseous or liquid forms of hydrogen can be physically stored. In high-pressure tanks with a working pressure of 350 to 700 bar, hydrogen is kept in gaseous form. Type III and Type IV hydrogen tank carbon fiber composite hydrogen storage tanks are available.
When compared to Type IV, which is entirely built of carbon fiber and has an inner liner made of polyamide or polyethylene plastic, Type III tanks have an aluminum or steel metal lining with a full-composite overwrap.
The Global Hydrogen tank Carbon Fiber market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
With the help of STELIA Aerospace Composites, the world leader in automotive equipment, Faurecia, is now able to design, manufacture, and sell high-pressure hydrogen tank carbon fiber constructed of carbon fiber composites for fuel cell electric vehicles.
As a long-term alternative to battery-powered electric vehicles, fuel cell technology provides more autonomy (over 500 km) and faster refuelling times.
