DOE issues FOA for up to $4M for development of advanced H2 storage systems and materials

Green Car Congress

Most of the hydrogen that is used today is stored as a compressed gas (with pressures typically ranging from 150 to 700 bar) or a liquid (liquid storage requires cryogenic temperatures near 20 K). Three overarching performance targets for onboard hydrogen storage systems are: gravimetric capacity; volumetric capacity; and system cost.

Naysayer Alert – the hydrogen red herring

My Electric Car

More significantly it must be realized that hydrogen, just like a battery, is not an energy source in itself, but simply a means of storing energy. The only by products are water and a fair degree of heat, the latter indicating a degree of inefficiency and wasted energy. So why haven’t FCEV becoming as prolific as other electric cars?
