Applications
Flexyshell technology is fundamentally versatile, designed to serve a wide variety of sectors where safe, lightweight, cost effective and scalable gas storage is critical.
But right now there is a large unmet need for middle scale hydrogen storage facilities of 1 to 100 t H2. This demand cannot be met with existing pressure tank technologies, which fundamentally do not scale to the required capacities.
Flexyshell middle pressure tank is specifically designed to address this gap.
Middle pressure high capacity single tank: a design target of up to 2 t of hydrogen at 180 to 200 bar in a single vessel, at a fraction of the cost per kilogram of today’s tank clusters. These are design targets, to be confirmed by testing.
Once Flexyshell reliable, scalable solution becomes available and known to the industry, projects that are currently stalled or downsized can move forward. This can unlock projects that are stalled today, and drive growth as hydrogen developers begin planning infrastructure around a technology that finally makes middle-scale compressed storage feasible.
Our current development priority is Middle-Pressure, Large-Volume Hydrogen Storage, where we see the most immediate gap in the hydrogen storage market. Development of the first Flexyshell prototype vessel for this application has now started, marking the transition of the concept toward physical demonstration and validation.

Middle-Pressure, Large-Volume Hydrogen Storage: our primary development focus and the urgent storage gap Flexyshell is being developed to address.
Beyond this initial application, the Flexyshell architecture has the potential to be adapted to several additional markets. These are considered future development directions, to be pursued as the core technology is validated and matured:
-
High Pressure Hydrogen Storage: future development aimed at improving the safety and structural efficiency of high-pressure storage.
-
Low Pressure, Large Volume Hydrogen Storage: future application for safe, large-scale hydrogen storage at relatively low pressure.
-
Safety Shells: future development providing an additional protective layer for hydrogen storage systems.
-
Offshore Wind-to-Hydrogen Platforms: future application of integrated buoyant storage modules for floating green hydrogen production and marine renewable installations.
Each subpage digs deeper into the specific use cases, advantages, technical adaptations, and market readiness of Flexyshell solutions in these fields.
In summary, Flexyshell’s immediate goal is to demonstrate its core technology in middle-pressure, large-volume hydrogen storage. Successful validation of this first application can provide the foundation for expanding the same modular architecture into a broader family of hydrogen storage and energy infrastructure solutions.
