High Pressure Gas Testing Facility

This facility is one of the few in Europe that carries out performance tests on high pressure tanks for hydrogen vehicle.

This facility is one of the few in Europe that carries out performance tests on high pressure tanks for hydrogen vehicles.  These tests simulate the service conditions that a tank of a typical hydrogen vehicle experiences during its operational lifetime. This is done by refuelling the tank, followed by a parking period and an emptying phase, which represents hydrogen consumption during driving.
