CNG and biogas transport
ISO-standard containers carrying type-4 cylinders for biogas and CNG transport at scale.
More details 
The H2 transport container
Type-IV fibreglass pressure cylinders engineered for the highest safety levels in high-pressure hydrogen road transport — at a competitive cost per kg.
The product
Hydrogen transport, engineered for the road
Our hydrogen transport modules use type-IV fibreglass pressure vessels and offer the highest safety levels in high-pressure transport of large hydrogen volumes — combined with a competitive price per kg of hydrogen. Type-approved per EN 12245, ADR, and TPED, our hydrogen and CNG containers far exceed standard requirements on defect testing, impact tests, and fire tests.
The cylinders are lightweight, robust, and non-corrosive. We supply standard configurations and tailor each project to specific customer requirements and regulatory constraints.

Why type-IV fibreglass
Higher payload, fewer connections
Larger hydrogen volume per cylinder + up to 70% weight reduction vs. steel skids = more H2 per truckload, fewer connection points, less downtime.
Superior safety margin
Cylinders tested with a 3.2–3.4 safety factor, fire-tested, fatigue-tested, stress-rupture-tested, and impact-tested. Comprehensive testing means unparalleled reliability in service.
Long service life, low lifecycle cost
The plastic liner and stainless-steel end fittings eliminate galvanic corrosion. Fibreglass + epoxy outer construction is resistant to salt, moisture, and extreme weather. Decades of service, minimal maintenance.
