Infrastructure for hydrogen
Introduction
Hydrogen infrastructure refers to all the structural elements that provide the mechanisms to create, transport, store and dispatch hydrogen.
Hydroducts
Hydrogen transport is carried out through hydroducts. Hydroducts are used to connect the point of hydrogen production with the point of demand, the transportation costs by this means are similar to those of compressed natural gas,[1] However, currently hydrogen is commonly produced at very long distances from the point of delivery.[2] In 2004 there were 1,450 km of low-pressure hydroducts in the United States and 1,500 km in Europe.
hydrogen stations
Hydrogen stations are usually not located near hydrogen production points, so they obtain it through hydrogen tanks, compressed or liquid hydrogen trailers.
Washington opens a hydrogen pumping station with fuel nine times cheaper than H2 prices in California.[3].
