Researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have shown that making carbon fiber composites with bio-based epoxies and an anhydride hardener makes the material fully recyclable by introducing linkages that are more easily degraded. Synthesizing carbon fiber involves temperatures of more than 1,000 °C.

The third major avenue of cost reduction is the application of mass production technology to the fuel cell stack, the tank, and other components. As an example, Yokoyama used the carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) hydrogen storage tank. The company is working to develop a low-cost CFRP for a high-pressure hydrogen tank.
