- Hydrogen pipeline transport
Hydrogen pipeline transport is a transportation of hydrogen through a pipe as part of the
hydrogen infrastructure .Economics
Hydrogen pipeline transport is used to connect the point of
hydrogen 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 2006 - Compressorless Hydrogen Transmission Pipelines] ] , the technology is proven [ [http://www1.eere.energy.gov/hydrogenandfuelcells/pdfs/hpwgw_airprod_remp.pdf 2005 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.
