After all, it is one of the most efficient ways of storing and transporting renewable energies. The hydrogen needed to supply the fuel cell is stored in two 700-bar tanks made of carbon-fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP). We should use this potential to also accelerate the transformation of the mobility sector.
