ABSTRACT
Carbon fiber composite overwrapped pressure vessels (COPV)
are the industry standard for onboard compressed hydrogen
storage tanks. Carbon fiber processing, however, accounts
for more than half the cost of these storage tanks. Over
the past decade, the US Department of Energy (DOE) has
funded research and development (R&D) targeting significant
reductions in carbon fiber costs, as well as improvements in
overall storage tank performance. This article provides an
overview of several DOE-funded R&D projects focused on the
development of advanced carbon fibers for onboard hydrogen
storage tanks.
