Liquid hydrogen as prospective energy carrier: A brief review and discussion of underlying assumptions applied in value chain analysis

David Berstad et al.

Summary: In future long-distance hydrogen value chains, different energy carriers are proposed, with recent studies focusing on the storage and transportation of hydrogen in liquid form. Although liquid hydrogen is considered in multiple studies, varying assumptions and limits lead to significant differences in the energy efficiency of long-distance liquid hydrogen transport. The boiloff ratio in liquid hydrogen storage tanks is identified as a major factor contributing to these differences, highlighting the importance of detailed assumptions in evaluating different hydrogen energy carriers.
