Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Hydrogen transportation : the key to unlocking the clean hydrogen economy

Publication: Brussels : Roland Berger GmbH, 2021Physical description: 28 p.Notes: Sumario: Clean hydrogen is quickly gaining currency as a scalable alternative fuel that could power a climate-neutral economy. But since it is much less dense than most other energy carriers, it poses a significant and often-overlooked logistics problem - specifically, its transportation from future production sites to points of use. The available carrier technologies are often costly, involve complex processes and, in methods such as ammonia, carry practical elements of risk. Therefore, to ensure its commercial viability, it is vital that reliable and cost-effective methods of hydrogen transportation are developed. Roland Berger's study set out to answer the question of which large-scale transportation technology could be the best solution for the coming decades. While there is no straightforward answer, what is clear is that policy makers and investors need to act now to enable low-cost hydrogen transportation, and be at the forefront of building the infrastructure necessary for a decarbonized economy.Materia / lugar / evento: Medio ambiente Cambio climático Hidrógeno Energías renovables Biocombustibles Sostenibilidad Transporte Otros autores: Roland Berger Strategy Consultants
