US pushes for storage engineering centre of excellence
The United States are shelling out the bucks to push the development of on-board hydrogen storage to increase the range of light-duty vehicles to a more serious 300 miles and further.
Greencarcongress writes: "This CoE team will complement the work of existing independent projects and the three materials-based hydrogen storage CoEs (adsorbents, metal hydrides and chemical hydrogen storage materials) by researching and developing onboard vehicular hydrogen storage systems and components that will allow for a driving range of more than 300 miles while meeting vehicular packaging, safety, cost and performance requirements. DOE intends to select one team and provide approximately $35 to $40 million over 6 years for this effort."
Dr Koch, they haven't been listening!
