18. Hugo Faria | 11 th September 2007 Conclusions EDEN project is developing regional competences preparing for the H 2 economy high pressure gaseous storage is only one of the work packages the main challenge for the composite materials sub-group will be to pass from its experience on user-friendly fluids to H 2 the experience in on-line monitoring systems will allow us to develop cheaper prototypes both in terms of burst test criteria and daily operating safety issues
