Hydrogen in Texas New Approach to Hydrogen Storage: Nanotube Polymers Moderate pore size High surface area

Hydrogen Multi-year Plan >In 2006, TxDOT commissioned the preparation of a strategy for a possible hydrogen-based transportation system Some recommended Areas of TxDOT Participation: –Consider State-wide Hydrogen infrastructure –Participate in joint stationary power / transportation projects –Utilize “blended” Hydrogen / CNG –Introduce off-road fuel cell vehicles into TxDOT’s fleet.
