The majority of the fuel cell vehicles in today’s demonstration fleets use high-pressure tanks rated at 350 or 700 bar for onboard storage of hydrogen gas. Therefore, to maximize the use of hydrogen as a zero-carbon fuel for fuel cells, advanced storage systems and technologies will be required, especially for automotive applications.
