Optimizing hydrogen transportation system for mobility by minimizing the cost of transportation via compressed gas truck in North Rhine-Westphalia

Hydrogen Road Transport Analysis in the Energy System: A Case Study for Germany through 2050

“…To fulfill such a demand, studies are carried out to optimize the hydrogen transportation system for mobility. Hydrogen can either be transported by pipelines [14][15][16][17] or by compressed-gas trucks [18,19] or via chemical carriers like liquid organic or ammonia [20,21]. Hurskainen et al [22] compared the truck-based hydrogen delivery based on the compressed gas (CGH 2 , 250 and 350 bar storage pressure) or LOHC alternatives for several discrete transport distances ranging from 50 to 300 km.…”

“…The authors concluded that for hydrogen demands from 3600 kg/d upwards and transportation distances of at least 100 km, LOHC-based transport is the more cost-effective option compared to CGH 2 transport. For the transport via truck in the region of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, Lahnaoui et al showed that in 2050, hydrogen will be predominantly transported and stored between the storage nodes and the distribution hubs at a high-pressure level of 500 and 540 bar, whilst it will be mainly transported at 250 and 350 bar in 2030 [18]. In addition, cost analysis indicates that the levelized cost of transporting hydrogen decreases with the transported capacity and increases with the trip distance.…”

Enabling low-carbon hydrogen supply chains through use of biomass and carbon capture and storage: A Swiss case study

“…This calls for a planning activity that accounts for the economic and the environmental impacts of hydrogen supply chains, as well as for the interplay between other supply chains connected to hydrogen generation and consumption [4,3]. This holds in the specific case of the mobility sector, where the main obstacle for the deployment of hydrogen (H 2 )-based vehicles is the lack of hydrogen infrastructure [5,6].…”

Insight into the adsorption of a liquid organic hydrogen carrier, perhydro-i-dibenzyltoluene (i = m, o, p), on Pt, Pd and PtPd planar surfaces

“…[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Cost: the initial cost of setting up RES is high. [11][12][13][14][15] Storage: the most commonly used energy storage medium is batteries; however, with the increasing demand, especially for electric vehicles, mineral sources (such those of Li, which plays an integral role in batteries) are continually being depleted, hence leading to increasing production costs. 1,11,12,[15][16][17] Transportation: transportation is closely associated with issues of storage; safe transportation requires safe energy storage technologies.…”
