Hydrogen fuel research at WSU

Washington State University is home to the Hydrogen Properties for Energy Research (HYPER) Laboratory. As the only cryogenic hydrogen research laboratory in US academia, HYPER has a number of projects to improve hydrogen production and storage, all at extremely cold temperatures below 130 Kelvin (-225°F).

Hydrogen refueling stations

Current refueling stations use large and expensive hydrogen compressors to achieve the necessary pressure for fuel storage.  Those large compressors are also prone to breakdowns. A new method called cryogenic thermal compression being tested at WSU may … » More …
