Hydrogen Transportation: Comparative Assessment of Levelised Cost of Transportation Technologies

It is widely accepted that hydrogen will play a vital role in the decarbonisation of the energy sector. In a future hydrogen economy, the vision is for hydrogen to be transported across borders from countries with a high excess of renewable energy that can be used to generate green hydrogen to countries without access to renewables.

The recent edition of the Pipeline Technology Journal features an article authored by Nigel Curson (Executive Vice President of Technical Excellence), Calvin Low (Senior Estimation Engineer) and Mathew Aneke, former Senior Energy Transition Consultant, assessing and comparing the technologies available for hydrogen transportation, using levelised cost as a reference.

One key challenge in exporting hydrogen is choosing the best means of transportation. Read the full article on page 58 and gain valuable insights into the different technologies available.
