Hydrogen has gained significant attention in recent years as a clean and sustainable energy source, with the potential to revolutionize the energy industry. However, one of the challenges associated with hydrogen as an energy source is its storage and transportation. Hydrogen is a highly compressible gas, making it difficult to store and transport in its natural state. The study presents different varieties of hydrogen tanks that are used for the storage and transportation of hydrogen gas. The methods for compressing hydrogen are described, with a focus on their advantages and disadvantages. The study concludes by comparing different methods for compressing hydrogen and discussing the factors that influence the choice of method for a specific application. The importance of continued research and development in this area is emphasised, as the efficient compression of hydrogen is crucial for the widespread adoption of hydrogen as a clean and renewable energy source. Life cycle cost analysis can evaluate the economic feasibility of using different hydrogen compressor technologies by estimating the total cost of owning and operating the compressors over their entire lifespan.
