Ultra-durable CFRP high-pressure hydrogen fuel storage tank

摘要

Maruhachi Corp. has developed an innovative hydrogen fuel storage tank with a plastic liner to be used at hydrogen fueling stations. High-pressure tanks are rapidly shifting from Type 3 CFRP high-pressure containers with aluminum liners to Type 4 CFRP high-pressure containers with plastic liners to achieve higher levels of durability, safety and reliability. However, large tanks for transporting hydrogen are expensive and they are required to have economic efficiency (long life/ durability of more than 15 years). Maruhachi Corp. has developed a CFRP high-pressure hydrogen fuel storage tank for hydrogen fueling stations by utilizing its basic technology for CFRP high-pressure containers.
