New Fraunhofer membrane technology enables co-transport of hydrogen and natural gas

Green Car Congress

The HYPOS (Hydrogen Power Storage & Solutions East Germany) project is working to create an intelligent infrastructure of distributor networks and storage stations that will make hydrogen available to all regions. When the polymer is heated up and starved of oxygen at the same time, it forms a layer of carbon on its surface.
