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). The FOA includes the following topics: Topic Area 1: Reducing the cost of compressed hydrogen storage systems. Click to enlarge.
