They come in much lighter than a typical tank of propane (~30 kg) or a full jerry can of gasoline (~25 kg). Thus, the canisters can readily be manipulated and carried by a single person, serving as a lightweight store of energy. The target weight for the canisters is 5 kg. Footnotes from Toyota indicate they rely on a “high-pressure hydrogen tank,” suggesting storage in gaseous form.

The dimensions of Toyota’s attractive round canisters are quite compact- 400 mm long and 180 mm in diameter. It’s commonly stored as a compressed gas or liquid, or within solids in special metallic forms. Thus materials must be selected carefully to store hydrogen safely. This can cause problems, such as leaks, or hydrogen embrittlement in metal components. Molecules of H2 are so small that they tend to leak out of most containers, finding a way to slip between other molecules.

The company’s latest efforts involve a toteable hydrogen cartridge – letting you take hydrogen power on the go! Toyota has been pushing hard for hydrogen technology, and has worked to develop vehicles and infrastructure to this end. It’s also been put forth as a replacement for everything from natural gas supplies to laptop batteries. When used in fuel cells, the only emissions from its use are water, and it eliminates the slow recharging problem of battery-electric vehicles.

Hydrogen has long been touted as the solution to cleaning up road transport.
