Key players in the hydrogen energy storage market, such as bar hydrogen tanks, are creating sophisticated techniques to enhance the efficiency and safety of hydrogen storage and transportation. This makes hydrogen a more practicable alternative for clean energy. Generally used for storing hydrogen gas, bar hydrogen tanks are high-pressure vessels with pressures usually between 350 to 700 bar (about 5,000 to 10,000 psi). For example, in April 2024, the Germany-based tech firm Voith Group unveiled its hydrogen storage subsidiary, Voith HySTech GmbH, and the Plug & Drive H2 Storage System. The initiation of Voith HySTech GmbH exemplifies the increasing focus on hydrogen as a feasible substitute for fuel, especially in industries where electrification might be inadequate. The Plug & Drive H2 Storage System, built particularly for heavy-duty vehicles, is an easy-to-install system that features 700-bar hydrogen tanks.
