DOE reports progress on development of hydrogen storage technologies

Green Car Congress

Related to this, DOE seeks by 2020 to develop novel precursors and conversion processes capable of reducing the high-volume cost of high-strength carbon fiber by 25% from $13 per pound to ~$9 per pound. In FY 2014, one area of focus was low-cost, high-strength carbon fiber precursors and advanced tank designs.
