Kostopt H2Tank – Cost efficient hydrogen high pressure storage vessel, HA-Project-Nr.: 208/09-38

Innovation Goal

  • Development of an cost optimized 700 bar hydrogen pressure vessel:
    - Reduction of vessel costs by savings material costs and maintaining the high level of reliability and safety.
    - Optimization of the translation efficiency of the carbon fibre e.g. by choosing the optimal fibre-matrix-system
  • Development, virtual design and numeric analysis by finite-element-methods applying a well balanced tool chain
  • Design, manufacturing, optimisation und validation of high pressure vessels
