Project Description
To develop a lightweight, low-cost high-pressure hydrogen storage vessel of hybrid metal and composite construction. Once developed, the new vessel will be optimised to achieve manufacturing scalability and ensure its design can be easily adapted to differing challenges, filling the gap between full metal and all-composite solutions.
