Japanese automaker Toyota has used its hydrogen tank tech in a new module to expand hydrogen storage to railways, shipping facilities, cargo ports, and fuel cell generators. Its 70MPa tank has a storage capacity of 2.7 kg to 18.7 kg and a tank mass ranging from 43.0 kg to 243.8 kg, depending on the size.

The project is in addition to the state’s $18 billion in green hydrogen ideas for neighboring Port Bonython, which are now being explored, as well as a new transmission line being built from the solar and wind-rich area to New South Wales and Victoria.

The study shows that Hysata’s ‘capillary-fed electrolysis cell’ can produce green hydrogen from water at a cell energy efficiency of 98 percent, far exceeding the International Renewable Energy Agency’s (IRENA) 2050 target and significantly better than existing electrolyzer technologies, resulting in a hydrogen production cost of less than A$2/kg (US$1.50/kg).
