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). In addition, the costs associated with high-pressure fast refueling adds to the overall costs associated with using hydrogen fuel cells.
