Transmission and Distribution of Hydrogen

Once hydrogen has been produced, it needs to be delivered safely and efficiently to the point of use. For this, pipelines, tankers and special transport systems are used.

Transportation with Pipelines

Hydrogen can be transported by pipelines directly from the place of production to the points of consumption. Existing natural gas pipelines can be adapted to transport hydrogen in some cases.

Transportation with Tankers

Liquid hydrogen can be transported by specially insulated tankers. This method facilitates the transport of hydrogen over long distances.

Trans. with Chemical Compounds

Hydrogen can be transported more safely and efficiently by storing it in compounds such as ammonia or methanol. Hydrogen can then be separated from these compounds again.
