First Graphene (ASX:FGR) has updated that it is progressing on its HyPStore Project, reportedly valued at $3.72 million, aimed at developing advanced hydrogen storage tanks. Testing is now underway at the company’s research and development laboratory in Manchester, UK. The project seeks to commercialize lightweight, impermeable cryogenic tanks designed for the safe storage and transportation of liquid hydrogen, which offers higher energy density and easier handling compared to gaseous hydrogen.
The Company has commenced testing graphene materials provided by Australia Sunlight Group to create a graphene-enhanced resin system. These materials will be evaluated against First Graphene’s PureGRAPH material. Incorporating graphene nanoplatelets into resin aims to create an impermeable tank by forming a protective barrier, which has previously demonstrated a reduction in hydrogen permeability by up to 48 times. The Tinius Olsen Universal Tester will measure material performance through various tests, including tensile, compressive, and flexural strength assessments.
