Liquid hydrogen offers cheapest shipping costs – Wood Mackenzie
Technology also has advantage of high purity and a simple reconversion process, research by consultancy shows
Liquefied blue hydrogen offers the cheapest low-carbon option for shipping hydrogen to Japan, Europe and the US, according to analysis from consultancy Wood Mackenzie. There are five main shipping options for hydrogen: ammonia, liquid hydrogen, methanol, compressed hydrogen and liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs). LOHCs are similar in form to oil products and can be carried on product tankers. Although Wood Mackenzie intends to look into the cost-effectiveness of LOHCs later this year, its current analysis looks only at ammonia, liquid hydrogen and methanol—comparing their cost-effectiveness when transporting blue and green hydrogen on various trade routes. “Liquid hydrogen has hi
