5. Type IV reservoir research and development projects

Type IV compressed hydrogen tanks are at the heart of numerous research and development projects around the world. These aim to promote innovative, sustainable solutions for hydrogen storage. The following examples illustrate the global commitment to developing and industrializing Type IV hydrogen tanks, essential for the transition to clean, sustainable energies. These projects are helping to improve existing technologies, reduce costs, and ensure wider adoption of hydrogen as an alternative energy source, positioning hydrogen as a central element in global decarbonization.

• FORVIA (formerly Faurecia) has launched an ambitious project for a Type IV hydrogen tank production plant in Allenjoie, France. This facility, the first of its kind in Europe and North America, has an annual capacity of 100,000 tanks, mainly for the automotive industry,...
