Luxfer Gas Cylinders awarded grant from Alberta Innovates

The company states: “Luxfer Gas Cylinders, a division of Luxfer Holdings PLC, announced it has been awarded a clean technology grant from Alberta Innovates Hydrogen Centre of Excellence to support the development of a new Type 4 700 bar hydrogen cylinder. Luxfer will use the Alberta Innovates grant to develop a polymer-lined high pressure hydrogen cylinder that reduces the number of components and amount of time to manufacture while also having the capability of storing gaseous pressure up to 700 bar (10,000 psi). The development work will take place in Luxfer’s Calgary, Alberta, facility. This next-generation Type 4 hydrogen cylinder will play a crucial role in growth markets requiring lightweight, high-volume hydrogen storage solutions such as fuel cell transit buses, heavy-duty trucks, vans, bulk gas transport, boats, and trains.”
