The accomplishment of hydrogen-fueled vehicles in Europe is to a great extent subject to refueling stations having the capacity to offer hydrogen at a reasonable cost.

It is along these lines fundamental that refueling costs are decreased, by methods for upgrading the pressure procedure.

This is the focal point of the exploration work being done in the EU venture COSMHYC , on which five European modern organizations and research establishments are teaming up: the European Institute for Energy Research (EIFER) , Steinbeis 2i GmbH , MAHYTEC SARL , Nel Hydrogen , and Ludwig-Bölkow-Systemtechnik GmbH .

The primary goal of the undertaking is to improve hydrogen pressure through a mix of mechanical and metal half breed based blowers.

The half and half arrangement ought to extensively improve the refueling procedure and sliced expenses by up to 25%.

The arrangement is to be intended to give hydrogen at 700 ban from a wide range of source – with a weight essential of more than 20 bar. "The following stages are presently to construct and test the models," says COSMHYC facilitator David Colomar from EIFER.
