    Abstract :
    A drastic shift in energy is crucial to achieve emission goals and mitigate global warming. Green hydrogen emerges as a pivotal and essential element in achieving carbon neutrality [1]. Hydrogen storage is considered a promising solution as energy storage, although it also faces several substantial limitations [2] which need to be solved. Hydrogen storage tanks, employing composites are expected to offer robust durability, cost-effectiveness, and lightweight characteristics. However, concerns exist regarding hydrogen permeability and mechanical strength, specifically when compared to metallic liners [3]. Factors influencing hydrogen permeability in polyamide include temperature, pressure, and material properties, such as crystallinity, orientation, crosslinking, and filler [3]. The outcomes of this study will provide valuable insights into optimizing polyamide-based hydrogen storage systems by exhaustive investigation of the developed compounds and samples.
