NASA tests new insulation to make large-scale liquid hydrogen storage cheaper
SMRTR summary
CB&I has successfully completed the first fill of a 20-cubic-meter liquid hydrogen storage tank at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama. The tank uses non-vacuum insulation, which could significantly cut costs compared to traditional vacuum-based systems. Partners including Shell, GenH2, and the University of Houston will evaluate the technology over coming months to determine whether it's ready for large-scale commercial hydrogen storage.
