The bulk of hydrogen refuelling stations use compressed hydrogen
Compressed hydrogen leads midstream technology race
Analysts say compressed hydrogen supply chains will develop before those of liquid hydrogen and LOHCs
Compressed hydrogen is likely to be the first form of the fuel to develop supply chains, with those for liquid hydrogen and liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHC) coming in a second phase, according to a webinar organised by market research firm Power Technology Research (PTR). Liquid and LOHC technologies are currently expensive, and many end-use applications—including early industry and transport adopters—are likely to initially want hydrogen in compressed form. “First, you need to develop the hydrogen compression market and then you can move towards the liquid hydrogen market,” says Zeeshan Sami Khan, analyst at PTR. “They will not develop in parallel, but once you have a compression mar
