PHASE – Portable Hydrogen Accessibility Storage Equipment

Swansea University

Academics: Dr James Matthew Courtney, Lecturer

External Partner: Hyppo Hydrogen Solutions

This project aims to produce a prototype portable hydrogen storage unit, whilst running trials across South Wales. The collaboration developed whilst rolling out the nascent hydrogen economy across Swansea Bay and running wider trials of Hydrogen vehicles and equipment across South Wales. This has seen multiple trials supported by this collaboration including hydrogen bus trials, community car schemes and portable power equipment. The cost, accessibility and manoeuvrability of the hydrogen storage tanks was highlighted as a key barrier to the further exploitation of hydrogen portable and this project aims to produce a prototype for a solution to this issue.
