III. Hydrogen Storage

Developing safe and reliable hydrogen storage technologies that meet performance and cost requirements is critical to achieving a future hydrogen economy. Hydrogen storage will be needed for both vehicular applications and off-board uses such as for stationary power generation and for hydrogen delivery and refueling infrastructure. Hydrogen Storage activities involve the ability to carry enough hydrogen on-board a vehicle to enable a driving range of greater than 300 miles, within packaging and cost constraints.
