An alternative route that could significantly increase the amount of hydrogen transported is to liquefy it. Liquid hydrogen is stored at a temperature of -253° C. This implies increased demands on the materials used and high energy requirements for liquefaction, thus a major disadvantage is the loss of around 40 % of the energy during liquefaction itself (Devinn, Irena).

Another option to increase the transported volume of hydrogen is to liquefy it. Liquid hydrogen is stored at a temperature of - 253° C. Achieving such a low temperature is associated with the high energy costs of liquefaction and the high demands on the materials used to store the liquefied hydrogen. Up to 40 % of the energy stored in the hydrogen is lost during liquefaction. [19] The advantage of this type of transport is the possibility of transporting large volumes of hydrogen over considerable distances (until suitable gas pipelines are built). The disadvantages are energy consumption and, in the case of road transport, the risk of accidents. [19]
