I'm actually working on a hydrogen storage system for dispensing to h2 powered vehicles. Nobody (that I'm aware of) stores this as a liquid. It's all 6k-10k+ psi gas that gets regulated down to some lower level for the actual dispensation
The energy density of compressed gas hydrogen is just laughably low. The number of trucks it takes to haul around the equivalent of a truck full of diesel fuel as energy stored of pressurized gas hydrogen is pretty staggering.
It has been a while since I did a review of the state of the art, but I seem to remember something like 30 times the number of trucks.
Even if it was only five times the number of trucks, that is still a prohibitive cost for transport logistics.
Yeah, it's entirely silly. But hey I get paid to engineer what the client wants, so them never turning a profit once government subsidies get cut off is no skin off my nose
No judgement, mate. I have relatives that rode the government biofuels subsidiary for about a decade.
Bio-Diesel, electric cars and now hydrogen fuel; the real business.odel is taking tax dollars and putting them into your pocket.
Electric cars are a shame. With a different battery chemistry (LiFePo3 or whatever) and niche usage ( short travel delivery or commuting) they could have a lot to offer. This current push is going to shit the bed and ruin it for everyone.
