Development of Hydrogen Storage Systems for Solutions Used in Road Transport

The publication presents an overview of contemporary solutions for hydrogen storage systems in highpressure tanks in means of transport. Development in this area is a response to the challenge of reducing global carbon dioxide emissions and limiting the emissions of toxic compounds. The variety of solutions used is stimulated by the increasingly common use of this gas. The development of new tank designs and the tests performed allow us to improve systems in terms of functionality and safety. The study presents solutions used for storing compressed hydrogen. The results of testing these solutions in the light of the requirements of applicable standards and legal regulations are also presented. The state of advancement of modern technologies for producing highpressure storage systems allows the use of working pressures up to 70 MPa. The main goal of the presented research is to verify the structure of the tank and the security systems used. One of the basic test methods is to check the tank structure and the functioning of safety devices under open fire conditions.
