Hydrogen pipeline transport
Hydrogen pipeline transport is a transportation of hydrogen through a pipe as part of the hydrogen infrastructure. Hydrogen pipeline transport is used to connect the point ofhydrogen production or delivery of hydrogen with the point of demand, pipeline transport costs are similar to CNG [ [http://www.leightyfoundation.org/files/WHEC16-Lyon/WHEC16-Ref022.pdf Compressorless Hydrogen Transmission Pipelines] ] , the technology is proven [ [http://www1.eere.energy.gov/hydrogenandfuelcells/pdfs/hpwgw_airprod_remp.pdf DOE Hydrogen Pipeline Working Group Workshop] ] , however mosthydrogen is produced on the place of demand with every 50 to 100 miles an industrial production facility. [ [http://www.hydrogenforecast.com/ArticleDetails.php?articleID=250 Every 50 to 100 miles ] ] . As of 2004 there are 900 miles (1450 km) of low pressure hydrogen pipelines in the USA and 930 miles in europe.Hydrogen highway
A
hydrogen highway is a chain ofhydrogen -equipped filling stations and other infrastructure along aroad orhighway which allowhydrogen vehicle s to travel.Hydrogen stations
Hydrogen stations which are not situated near a hydrogen pipeline get supply viahydrogen tank s,compressed hydrogen tube trailer s,liquid hydrogen trailer s,liquid hydrogen tank truck s or dedicated onsite production. Some firms asITM Power are also providing solutions to make your own hydrogen (for use in the car) at home.
