This review outlines the prospects for gaseous hydrogen, stored in high-pressure cylinders, as a fuel for automotive applications. The use of gas cylinders for the storage of hydrogen fuel for transportation is a relatively recent application. This article aims, initially, to map the development of cylinder materials and the associated technology relevant to the containment of gaseous hydrogen. Following an initial description of hydrogen embrittlement problems encountered in the past in steel cylinders, the article explores the use of other types of gas cylinders, including the recent examples of hoop-wound and fully wound composites. Central to the article is the concept of the volume of hydrogen transported for the minimum amount of container weight. Finally, the role of international standards in developing safe and efficient cylinders for this application is emphasized.
