Hydrogen assessment tool

Offentlig prosjektsammendrag

The future of the hydrogen value chain will rely on developing infrastructure for low-cost distribution and delivery. Compared with other gases and liquids, hydrogen as energy carrier is challenged by low energy density, embrittlement, and safety concerns. These unique properties present special cost and safety obstacles at every distribution step, from manufacturing to end-use. Also critical is the form of hydrogen being transported and stored. Hydrogen can be transported as pure hydrogen — either pressurized or liquified — or by using a liquid hydrogen carrier such as ammonia or liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHC). In this project we have developed a tool for assessing hydrogen transport. The tool will help our clients to choose the optimal modes of transport as well as hydrogen carrier.
