Fuel Storage
Fuel Storage is another area where researchers see a lot of potential in the usage of activated carbon on account of its absorption qualities. In fact, the prospect of storing gas in activated carbon seems very feasible and practical as the gas can be stored in low mass, low pressure and low volume environment. This is definitely convenient as compared to storing in bulky and on-board compression tanks in vehicles.
