Report: Assessment of Hydrogen Delivery Options
JRC, the research body of the European Commission, has published its technical report “Assessment of Hydrogen Delivery Options”. This report presents the analysis of cost and energy requirements of hydrogen delivery in EU-compatible scenarios. It considers two delivery cases, Case A and Case B, and two electricity price scenarios. Case A represents a simple point to point delivery scenario (with a delivery rate of 1 Mt H2 per year), whereas Case B is a more complex distribution pathway (with a delivery rate of 100 kt H2 per year). This study considers several packaging options for the hydrogen delivery, comprising delivery in its pure form (i.e. CGH2 and LH2) or using hydrogen chemical carriers such as NH3, MeOH or LOHC. Additionally, for Case A, two transport options (i.e. shipping and pipelines52) have been analysed.
