Route flexibility and ranges of more than 5,000 nautical miles are basic requirements of the world’s maritime fleet. Hydrogen as a direct energy storage medium is also ruled out for these ship types, as its low volumetric energy density would require it to be stored in huge hydrogen tanks in a cryogenic or highly compressed state.
