H2 Delivery Infrastructure Analysis
Project Summary
| Full Title: |
Hydrogen Delivery Infrastructure Options Analysis |
| Project ID: |
69 |
| Principal Investigator: |
Tan-Ping Chen |
| Brief Description: |
This project is conducting comprehensive cost and environmental analyses for delivery options for the transition and long term for gaseous hydrogen, liquid hydrogen and hydrogen carriers. |
| Keywords: |
Hydrogen delivery; Hydrogen infrastructure; tube trailers; pipelines |
Purpose
This project will conduct an in-depth comparative analysis of the various hydrogen delivery options from central production facilities to and including refueling stations. The timeframe considered will include early market penetration through long term use of hydrogen as a major energy carrier. The major objective is to identify pros and cons of each option and the major technology barriers that need to be overcome for each delivery option.
