      Sometimes its tough because we are a young team designing something that does not exist but i do not regret it.

      A cryogenic tank is a tank that holds liquids at a really low temperature. The lowest known temperature is absolute zero which is -273 degrees Celsius. We store Methane at -164 degrees Celsius because at that temperature it is in liquid form and has 600 times more energy in liquid form than in gas form.

      There are 3 states a substance can be in: gas, liquid and solid.
