DOE reports progress on development of hydrogen storage technologies

Green Car Congress

10/kWh ($333/kg H 2 stored ). 8/kWh ($266/kg H 2 stored ). Lightweight compressed gas storage vessels requiring a composite overwrap to contain hydrogen gas are considered the most likely near-term hydrogen storage solution for the initial commercialization of FCEVs, as well as for other early market applications.
