Hydrogen Storage

Another challenge for the entire hydrogen supply chain, and specifically for car manufacturers, is storage. Hydrogen has a very low density, which means it must be stored at high pressure.

Hydrogen storage tanks must therefore be extremely robust and made of composite materials to ensure safe and efficient storage. These tanks and their components must also meet very stringent requirements and undergo a wide range of tests under extreme conditions.

Kiwa's hydrogen laboratory has been testing automotive tanks for over a decade and has recently invested to double the laboratory's capacity in anticipation of a significant increase in hydrogen vehicles as part of the Energy Transition.

Kiwa, thanks to the experience gained in the sector and the extensive knowledge developed in recent years both nationally and internationally, is able to support hydrogen storage processes with the following services:

Testing, Inspection, and Certification to ensure quality, safety, and performance of high-pressure components, such as process and storage tanks.
Pressure Equipment Certification (PED)
Certification and inspections of Transportable Pressure Equipment (tPED)
Non-destructive testing
Technical-financial audits aimed at identifying risks and opportunities in hydrogen storage projects involving tanks, geological storage, and bullet storage.
