Australia’s First Graphene Limited has joined a cross-sector project focused on the development of lightweight impermeable cryogenic all-composite (Type-V) tanks for the safe storage of liquid hydrogen.
The accelerating low-carbon hydrogen production and safety storage for utilisation in mobility project, HyPStore for short, is a $3.72m venture that will see collaboration between nine entities across Australia and the UK.
As part of HyPStore, First Graphene will lead the production of graphene enhanced material to strengthen cryogenic hydrogen storage tanks and reduce permeability.
In turn, this will help the project explore hydrogen gas production through a novel plastic recycling process developed by Australian Sunlight Group (ASL), known as Flash Joule Heating (FLH), before the hydrogen is purified and compressed into liquid.
