Eventually, he adds, the technology might generate hydrogen at a fueling station or even aboard a vehicle, thus avoiding the expense and hassle of storing and
transporting hydrogen gas.
Not exact matches
Natural
gas blended with renewable
hydrogen also produces less emissions than regular natural
gas when used at a power plant or as a
transport fuel.
That electricity must be used or stored in batteries, which degrade, while
hydrogen gas is easily stored and
transported.
Innovative
hydrogen storage techniques, such as organic liquid carriers that do not require high - pressure storage, however, will soon lower the cost of long - distance
transport and ease the risks associated with
gas storage and inadvertent release.
For instance, carbon dioxide enables energy storage by reacting with
hydrogen gas — called the hydrogenation process — transforming the mixture into higher energy liquid compounds such as methanol that can be easily
transported and used as fuel for cars.
Currently, major research has gone into
hydrogen - fueled cars, but the challenge of storing and
transporting gas remains a major hurdle to commercial - scale use.
And
hydrogen can be
transported from one place to another in pipelines similar to the pipelines that carry natural
gas.
In the body of the study it becomes clear that FCVs do not beat internal combustion engines (ICEs) by much in equivalent fuel economy, And they are not much better in greenhouse
gas emissions either, particularly in the liquid
hydrogen versions, because of the energy required to
transport and compress the
hydrogen.
Even moving
hydrogen by pipeline has its problems, much larger diameter pipes would be needed than to
transport a comparable amount (in terms of energy value) of natural
gas.
Hydrogen can't be
transported in existing natural
gas pipelines.
Since
hydrogen produced at a central location can't be
transported in natural
gas pipelines, as it corrodes the pipe, it must be
transported by cryogenic truck to the fueling station.
Alvarado, who arrived to his inauguration ceremony at the Plaza de la Democracy on a
hydrogen bus, campaigned on modernizing and electrifying older modes of
transport, promoting research and development in
hydrogen and biofuels, and banning oil and
gas exploration in the country.
Hydrogen and other coal
gases can be used to fuel power - generating turbines, or as the chemical building blocks for a wide range of commercial products, including diesel and other
transport fuels.
Hydrogen, as such, is difficult to store and
transport because it is a very light - weight
gas that can not be liquified except at extremely low temperatures.
