DOE reports progress on development of hydrogen storage technologies

Green Car Congress

For light-duty vehicles this means providing a driving range of more than 300 miles (500 km), while meeting packaging, cost, safety, and performance requirements to be competitive with current vehicles. Projected costs, in 2013$, for BOP components for 700-bar compressed hydrogen storage systems produced at 500,000 systems per year.
