Unlimited hydrogen transportation – innovative solutions for green hydrogen logistics
Hydrogen is increasingly recognized as a key resource in driving the transition to zero-emission energy solutions. To make hydrogen accessible to industries and consumers worldwide, efficient and safe transportation solutions are essential.
A variety of transportation options are available for hydrogen, including compressed hydrogen, liquid hydrogen, and chemical carriers like ammonia, methanol, and liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHC). Each of these methods has its own advantages and challenges that must be carefully considered to ensure safe, economical, and environmentally friendly hydrogen transportation.
While developing a suitable hydrogen transportation infrastructure involves significant costs, the groundwork is already in place. Existing gas pipelines and transportation networks can be adapted to accommodate hydrogen. Depending on the production site, hydrogen must be transported varying distances to reach consumption points. Building an efficient hydrogen transport infrastructure is a critical step towards a sustainable energy future.
Challenges for safe & efficient hydrogen transportation
Hydrogen logistics and transportation face several challenges due to its unique properties. Its low density and high volatility can lead to rapid escape at room temperature. To ensure safe transport, hydrogen must be stored in stable, high-density containers as Hexagon Purus' hydrogen high-pressure Type 4 cylinders. Additionally, transportation requires special materials that are corrosion and pressure-resistant to prevent leaks. The compression or liquefaction process is energy-intensive, increasing costs and environmental impact. Furthermore, many applications still grapple with uncertainties and stringent regulations, further complicating logistics.
To address these challenges, Hexagon Purus develops various application-specific solutions. Compressed hydrogen is transported in special high-pressure containers. Our innovative, carbon fiber-reinforced containers enable higher transport capacities while maintaining a lightweight design and stringent safety standards.
The transportation solutions by Hexagon Purus
To address these challenges, Hexagon Purus develops diverse application-specific solutions. Compressed hydrogen is transported as standard in specialized high-pressure containers capable of withstanding pressures of 200 to 500 bar. Innovative, carbon fiber-reinforced containers enable higher transport capacities with a lighter weight and exceptional safety standards.
Integrating hydrogen into existing natural gas infrastructure is a viable option for future hydrogen transportation, as high-pressure pipelines can carry pressures of up to 100 bar. The construction of new, specialized hydrogen pipelines also offers effective options for national water transportation. Liquid hydrogen transported at -253 °C allows for the efficient movement of large quantities. Additionally, chemical hydrogen carriers like LOHC or ammonia provide alternative solutions for safely storing and releasing hydrogen while adhering to less stringent transportation conditions. These technologies facilitate sustainable and efficient hydrogen logistics, paving the way for an emission-free energy future.
To ensure a reliable hydrogen supply, Hexagon Purus offers innovative solutions, including hydrogen storage systems, high-pressure type 4 cylinder, and hydrogen distribution systems. Our products adhere to the highest quality and safety standards and are constructed from robust materials for optimal protection and a long service life.
