Currently, carbon fiber (CF) reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites are used to make COPVs. That high cost is a barrier for widespread commercial deployment of light-duty FCEVs. A primary cost driver of the composite materials and processing is the synthesis and conversion of precursor polymer into CF.
