Liquid Hydrogen Storage

Cryogenically stored hydrogen maintained at -253°C in a vacuum-insulated tank, offering 2.8 times more energy density than gaseous hydrogen for aviation applications.

Hydrogen Fuel Cells

Electrochemical devices that convert hydrogen and oxygen into electricity to power electric motors in aircraft.

Solid-state hydrogen storage

A method of storing hydrogen by binding it chemically within solid materials, such as metal hydrides or advanced adsorbents, rather than in high-pressure tanks.
