Evaluating onboard hydrogen storage methods

Joint Industry Project

Environmental protection

Research and development

A modified internal combustion engine that runs on hydrogen gas instead of gasoline, producing no carbon emissions.

An onboard hydrogen storage method being evaluated for heavy-duty vehicles, which also involves investigating hydrogen losses due to boil-off.

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.

United States

A four-year joint industry project by SwRI designed to strengthen hydrogen infrastructure and empower the transition to zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles by resolving technical bottlenecks in hydrogen refueling.
