Verdicel’s Active Storage
Patent-Pending Hydrogen Active Storage
Novel integrated gas-based hydrogen hydraulic system maintains a constant dispensing pressure/refilling and at rest.
Unique Benefits of Hydraulic-based Hydrogen Storage:
- Increased dispensing capacity: Gas remains at a constant 950 bar
- Compression rate increased up to 12 times based current industry solutions
- Capitalization requirements to manufacture reduced up to 60 percent
- Operational cost reduced up to 70 percent due to advance design concepts
- System downtime reduced up to 45 percent
- System Physical Footprint reduced 80 percent
The Active storage system utilizes a high-pressure liquid to control the volume and Pressure of the compressed hydrogen to 950 Bar.

Hydrogen Powered Solutions
Global Cloud Management
- Continuous operational monitoring and analytical awareness of global deployment base.
- Real-time analysis of millions of sub-second ‘telemetric’ data elements (such as temperatures, pressures, storage & flow levels, etc.) can identify and alert on emerging issues before they impact system.
- Proactive alerting and active maintenance management minimizes operational disruption.
