NASA tests new insulation for cheaper liquid hydrogen storage

Energy infrastructure giant CB&I has completed the first fill of a liquid hydrogen storage tank at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, testing an insulation approach that could lower the cost of storing hydrogen at large scale. The 20-cubic-meter demonstration tank uses non-vacuum insulation, a technology CB&I is developing for large liquid hydrogen (LH2) storage systems. The company says the approach could reduce capital costs for storage faci…
