Japan hydrogen storage tank

What is the largest liquefied hydrogen storage tank in Japan?

The largest liquefied hydrogen storage tank in Japan was the 540 m3 tank at the Tanegashima Space Center, but our storage tank will have at least four times the capacity.

How liquefied hydrogen will be stored at Tanegashima Space Center?

And by scaling up the liquefied hydrogen tank at the Tanegashima Space Center, we will manufacture and install a 2,500 m3 nominal geometrical capacity tank, which will be the largest in Japan, and store liquefied hydrogen transported by a liquefied hydrogen carrier in the tank.

What is a liquid hydrogen storage tank?

The liquid hydrogen storage tank at the LHS facility is especially noteworthy for its cold insulation performance. In order to keep hydrogen in a liquid state, it must be kept at -253°C, an extremely low temperature. However, when liquid hydrogen is put into a conventional tank, rapid evaporation occurs.

What is a liquefied hydrogen storage tank terminal?

The terminal has equipment for transferring liquefied hydrogen from a liquefied hydrogen tank lorry to the liquefied hydrogen storage tank. The liquefied hydrogen storage tank, shown in Fig. 3, is a spherical double-wall vacuum tank with a 2,500 m 3 nominal geometrical capacity.

Could a cryogenic storage tank be the world's largest liquefied hydrogen tank?

A technique has recently been developed to make an even larger storage facility. Samsung C&T Engineering & Construction Group has received certification from Det Norske Veritas (DNV), an internationally accredited certification body, for a method to construct a cryogenic storage tank with the world’s largest capacity for liquefied hydrogen.

Can liquefied hydrogen storage tank be commercialized?

We are therefore developing a large-scale liquefied hydrogen storage tank with a new structure toward future commercialization under a grant project by NEDO called the Development of Large-scale Equipment for the Transport and Storage of Liquefied Hydrogen and Equipment for Liquefied Hydrogen Unloading Terminals.
