Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is working with Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies on a next-generation manufacturing technique for hydrogen storage vessels. As part of a $5.6 million three-year contract with the U.S. Department of Energy, Livermore researchers will demonstrate a unique high-speed composite processing technique. The “National Hydrogen Storage Project,” is focused on developing material-based options that can operate at more practical temperatures and pressures and meet the stringent targets required for the ultimate commercialization of hydrogen vehicles across all platforms. Vern Switzer (left) and Tim Ross check the pressure on the cryogenic vessel that can hold hydrogen as a compressed room temperature gas, a cryogenic gas or even liquid.
