Compressed hydrogen can be stored in tanks

Compressed hydrogen is stored in specially designed tanks that can withstand the high pressures involved ¹. These storage tanks are typically made from advanced materials like carbon fiber composites, which offer a strong and lightweight solution for safely containing high-pressure hydrogen. The tanks are often cylindrical to evenly distribute the stress of the internal pressure. Hydrogen tanks can be built using a variety of different materials to match the pressure and storage duration needs of the consumer ².
