This paper describes an alternative technology for storing hydrogen fuel onboard vehicles. Insulated pressure vessels are cryogenic capable vessels that can accept cryogenic liquid hydrogen, cryogenic compressed gas or compressed hydrogen gas at ambient temperature. Insulated pressure vessels offer advantages over conventional storage approaches. Insulated pressure vessels are more compact and require less carbon fiber than compressed hydrogen vessels. They have lower evaporative losses than liquid hydrogen tanks, and are lighter than metal hydrides. The paper outlines the advantages of insulated pressure vessels and describes the experimental and analytical work conducted to verify that insulated pressure vessels can be safely used for vehicular hydrogen storage. Insulated pressure vessels have successfully cornpleted a series of certification tests. A series of tests have been selected as a starting point toward developing a certification procedure. An insulated pressure vessel has been installed in a hydrogen fueled truck and tested over a six month period.
