How To Transport and Store Hydrogen – Facts and Figures

The EU has set a goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2050 and decided to raise its 2030 climate target to 55%. For this, the EU needs to transform its energy system. It is of paramount importance that it will become more efficient, affordable and interconnected. Hydrogen can play a pivotal role in the EU’s decarbonisation efforts and be at the centre of the energy system integration, supporting transport of renewable energy over very long distances and facilitating renewables storage from one season to another.

ENTSOG, GIE and Hydrogen Europe have joined forces on a factsheet that answers a number of fundamental questions about gaseous and liquid hydrogen transport and storage, titled “How to transport and store hydrogen? Facts and figures”. This factsheet provides an objective and informative analysis on key concepts, terminology and facts and figures from different public sources.

The factsheet illustrates the EU’s potential to enable a global hydrogen economy and to become a global technology leader, due to its extensive gas infrastructure that can be used to transport blends of hydrogen or be converted to transport pure hydrogen.
