Multiple Element
Gas Container (MEGC)

The 20 ft MEGC provides a certified, secure, and flexible solution for hydrogen storage and transportation.

Hydrogen storage containers serve both as on-site storage and as a means of transport. This avoids the need for costly, fixed storage tanks and eliminates time-consuming and expensive gas transfers from trailers to local storage tanks. Furthermore, they ensure the immediate availability of high-pressure hydrogen without the initial need for additional compression.

Efficient H2 delivery

Storage containers

The 20 ft Multiple Element Gas Container (MEGC) is an advanced hydrogen storage and logistics solution from 38MEGAPASCAL, a company of H2 Energy. FORVIA and H2 Energy have joined forces to develop an innovative Hâ‚‚ storage container for the safe transportation of pressurised hydrogen. The container is certified for ADR and RID applications and can be seamlessly integrated into any efficient logistics system.

The 20 ft ISO-compatible container can store 465 kg of hydrogen at 380 bar. A 40 ft version with a capacity of nearly 1 ton is also planned.

Three large white hydrogen storage containers are positioned in a fenced outdoor facility, each elevated on metal supports.
