National research center for aeronautics and space. Provides R&D in aeronautics, space, energy, transport, and security.

Hydrogen gas stored under high pressure. It is a cheaper option than liquid hydrogen but has lower energy density.

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.

Devices that convert chemical energy from a fuel into electricity through an electrochemical reaction, producing minimal emissions.
