Cryo-compressed Hydrogen (CcH2) storage being designed for commercial vehicles; global market expected to rise further.
Here’s an article posted in Composites World that talks about Cryo-compressed hydrogen.
According to the article,
- Cryo-compressed hydrogen (CcH2) is a promising storage and refueling solution for trucks and commercial vehicles, offering higher storage density for longer range.
- The global market for hydrogen is rapidly expanding, with $240 billion invested in 680 large-scale projects up to 2030, indicating its critical role in achieving a zero-emissions future.
Here are a list of innovations on CcH2 that have been designed for long-haul trucking:
- Verne’s CcH2 Class 8 Truck: Verne is developing a Class 8 truck powered by CcH2, focusing on maximizing hydrogen density to extend vehicle range without adding extra weight. This project is part of their efforts to support the U.S. Army’s decarbonization goals and improve operational capabilities in medium and heavy-duty vehicles.
- Cryomotive’s Cryogas System: Cryomotive is preparing a CcH2 storage system for heavy trucks that features a carbon fiber-reinforced epoxy resin tank. This system can store 38 kilograms of CcH2 and has passed rigorous testing. Cryomotive aims to provide high-density storage with a low total cost of ownership, targeting production volumes that could significantly reduce costs.
