density and volumetric and gravimetric capacities with these storage
technologies, respectively, are shown. According to the US Department of
Energy (DOE), hydrogen storage in one of the three barriers must be over-
come to enable industry commercialization of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles
(Satyapal et al., 2007). For the transportation application, the vehicle packag-
ing, cost, and performance requirements for onboard hydrogen storage sys-
tems require a vehicle driving range of greater than 300 miles (500 km). The
DOE onboard hydrogen storage system performance targets were developed
through FreedomCAR, a partnership between DOE and the US Council for
Automotive Research, and are shown in Figures 13.10 and ...
