ANGP gets exclusive license to UTRC technology for conformable natural gas vehicle storage tanks

Green Car Congress

The license applies to non-metal composite tanks containing activated carbon adsorbents at operating pressures of up to 1,000 psi. ANGP has addressed this barrier by using an adsorbent material (activated carbon) capable of storing large quantities of gas at a far lower pressure (. —Bob Bonelli, ANGP co-founder and CEO.
