H2APEX pressure accumulator
Mobile and stationary
storage solutions
H2APEX develops and produces type IV compressed gas storage tanks with 500 bar – carbon fiber reinforced, standard-compliant and Made in Germany. From individual tanks to turnkey container systems, we supply storage solutions that adapt to your needs – not the other way around.
Why storage matters
Germany is planning the hydrogen ramp-up.
H2APEX builds the storage facilities for this.
Green hydrogen only unfolds its value when it arrives where it is needed – at the right time, in the right quantity, in the right pressure range. Our compressed gas storage facilities form the link between production and consumption: they buffer production fluctuations, enable transportation without pipelines and create security of supply at every location.
H2APEX does not offer catalog products, but modular storage systems – configured for your specific application.

Technology
Type IV – the most advanced generation of compressed gas storage
Compressed gas storage tanks for hydrogen are available in four designs (type I to IV). Type IV is the latest and most powerful variant: an inner container (liner) made of high-performance plastic is completely wrapped in carbon fiber.
The result is a tank that weighs up to 70% less than a comparable steel pressure tank at an operating pressure of 500 bar. Less weight means more payload, lower handling costs and a higher energy density per kilogram of the overall system. Service life: up to 30 years.
