• Hexagon Purus makes high-pressure hydrogen cylinders from carbon fibre with polymer liners. The article says they weigh about one-third as much as steel cylinders and can store hydrogen at pressures up to 700 bar. Different sizes serve as vehicle tanks for cars, trucks, buses, ships and trains, or for transporting hydrogen from production facilities to fueling stations. Cylinders are tested at Hexagon facilities against safety standards.
• Lighter tanks can reduce vehicle weight and fuel consumption and lower the cost of transporting hydrogen, supporting hydrogen infrastructure. The article says the polymer-lined composite construction resists impact and fatigue better than metal alternatives. It cites fuel-cell vehicles whose cylinders had run over 90,000 km without maintenance or replacement.
• The page describes hydrogen storage requirements as a barrier to transport-sector deployment and cites a European Commission view of fuel-cell vehicles as one way to reduce transport emissions. It refers to a projected hydrogen-cost reduction of up to 50% by 2030, a 2017 global hydrogen market value of USD 115 billion, and a hydrogen-cylinder market forecast above USD 7 billion by 2030. These are article-era cited figures/forecasts. Hexagon Purus is part of Hexagon Group, whose gas-storage and transport experience is stated as over 60 years. SDGs shown: 9 and 11.
