The Brunel Composites Centre (BCC) has won an award for their project, HyPStore: Advancing low-carbon hydrogen production and safe storage for mobility.
The project is a partnership between BCC, Graphene Innovations Manchester (GIM), First Graphene Limited (ASX: FGR) and Queen Mary University of London. At the Composites UK Industrial Awards Dinner, they were nominated for three awards and won the Innovation in Composite Materials category.
The HyPStore project is driving the development of mechanically robust, impermeable composite tanks that incorporate graphene and self-healing systems for liquid hydrogen storage, with built-in safety through a Leak-Before-Break architecture. This work supports the mobility sector’s transition to low-carbon technologies.
This achievement reflects the dedication, creativity and collaboration of everyone involved, from academic researchers to industry partners, and highlights the importance of advancing cutting-edge composite materials solutions within the hydrogen economy.
