STORAGE AND TRANSPORT OF HYDROGEN

Comparison of Exergy Loss during Storage and Transportation of Hydrogen... 

In the near future, hydrogen gas will undoubtedly play an important role in the energy media for effective use of primary energies. The production of high purity hydrogen gas, and the storage and transport of hydrogen gas are very important for this purpose. 

Further developments in the storage and transport of hydrogen concern hydrogen in the form of hydrides of titanium/iron hydride TiFeH, 95 or magnesium/nickel hydride MgNiH4 2. 

Dehydrogenation of cycloalkanes such as cyclohexane, methylcyclohexane and decalin has been used for the storage and transportation of hydrogen fuel at an ambient temperature and pressure [2, 4, 14-20]. The advantages of cycloalkane dehydrogenation systems are as follows ... 

Compared to other fossil fuels the gravimetric heating value is high, while the volumetric heating value is low. These physical properties already foreshadow some of the difficulties associated with the storage and transport of hydrogen. 

The difficulties regarding the storage and transport of hydrogen evoked the idea to further process hydrogen and produce either methane or methanol. To do so, hydrogen and carbon are necessary. To avoid conventional energy carriers and thus contribute to climate protection, the carbon has to be provided by a closed system. Two possibilities are especially suitable ... 

Since the begirming of the invention of fuel cells, hydrogen has primarily been considered as the fuel. The difficulty in safe storage and transportation of hydrogen has limited its wide applications in automobiles and portable electronics. Under the motivation of US department of Defense in 1960s, the earliest work to develop fuel cells that could operate...
