The U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) awarded a $3,037,399 Cooperative Agreement under the Renewable Energy Research and Development program (CFDA 81.087) to General Electric Company's GE Research Division. The goal of this 12-month project is to design, manufacture, and test a 20 kg composite liquid hydrogen (LH2) storage tank that is scalable to larger capacities of 60-120 kg for heavy trucks and 200-1000 kg for aircraft. The project will develop the tank's design specifications and conceptual design in the first budget period, select the materials and manufacturing processes in the second period, and fabricate and test the prototype LH2 tank in the third period. This effort aims to advance LH2 storage technologies to meet Department of Energy performance targets and support the adoption of hydrogen as a transportation fuel.
