INTRODUCTION & KEYWORDS
Hydrogen can be transported in several ways, including by truck, ship, rail and pipeline.
One common method of transporting hydrogen is by truck, using cryogenic liquid tanker trailers. These trailers are designed to carry liquified hydrogen at extremely low temperatures (-253°C), which reduces the volume of the hydrogen and allows for more efficient transport.
Another option is to transport hydrogen by ship, either as a cryogenic liquid or as a compressed gas. Cryogenic liquid hydrogen can be shipped in specialized tankers, similar to those used for transporting liquified natural gas (LNG). Compressed hydrogen gas can also be shipped in containers that are designed to withstand high pressures.
Finally, hydrogen can also be transported through pipelines, just like natural gas. This method is generally only practical over short distances, as hydrogen tends to leak out of pipelines more easily than natural gas. However, it can be an efficient option for moving hydrogen from a production site to a nearby storage or distribution center.
