The storage devices can supply fuel for any size hydrogen-based application - small or large,vehicular,portable,on-board or stationary.
Our storage devices hold more hydrogen than compressed hydrogen cylinders,readily accept hydrogenfrom reformers,electrolyzers and other sources,and can be used safely in moreapplications than liquidhydrogen.
Fully operable at an ambient temperature,with a moderate pressure difference for absorbinganddischarging hydrogen gas.
