Hydrogen infrastructure

Chapter Chapter 4 in Exploring the Hydrogen Economy, 2025, pp 100-165 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter investigates the essential components required for the hydrogen economy. It begins by examining various hydrogen production methods, including grey, blue, green, and nuclear-based hydrogen, highlighting their roles and limitations. The chapter then discusses hydrogen transportation, covering road, ship, pipeline, and tube trailer methods, as well as hydrogen carrier materials, to emphasise the logistics of moving hydrogen efficiently and safely. Storage solutions, including compressed, liquefied, and cryo-compressed hydrogen, as well as advanced technologies like liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs) and metal hydrides, are analysed for their critical role in maintaining hydrogen’s availability. The chapter also covers hydrogen utilisation in fuel and power systems and the significance of hydrogen sensors. Additionally, the chapter highlights the importance of developing robust hydrogen infrastructure, the role of key stakeholders, and the necessity for research collaborations and trade partnerships to advance hydrogen production, transportation, storage, and utilization.
