Liquid Hydrogen Storage Flexibility

A suite of options are possible to maximize the economic storage of LH2

Super Insulation

  • Low Boiloff
  • Low operating cost
  • Economic for <200 m3 facilities
  • Boiloff is vented or flared
ISO Container for Marine/rail transport ~ 60 m3

Integrated Refrigeration and Storage (IRAS)

  • Helium Refrigeration loop intercepts heat leak and maintain LH2 indefinitely
  • Economic for >1000 m3 facilities
  • NO BOILOFF
LH2 Storage Facility at Kennedy Space Center ~ 3500 m3

Boiloff Capture

  • Control pressure by sending pressurized vapor to fuel cells
  • Continuous power
  • Zero emissions
  • Economic for 200 m3 to 1000 m3 facilities
LH2 Test Stand at Kennedy Space Center ~ 200 m3
