Related to this, DOE seeks by 2020 to develop novel precursors and conversion processes capable of reducing the high-volume cost of high-strength carbon fiber by 25% from $13 per pound to ~$9 per pound. In 2013, Strategic Analysis Inc., By 2020, the sub-program has the following targets for automotive hydrogen systems: 1.8

Conversely, high coating thicknesses for the electrodes produce a high energy density. Alternatively they can serve as buffers for renewables such as wind and solar power—whether as part of the grid or as home installations. An outer skin made from carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) encases the inner aluminum shell.
