Sandia study finds underground geologic storage of hydrogen could boost transportation, energy security

Green Car Congress

Should the market demands for hydrogen fuel increase with the introduction of fuel cell electric vehicles, the US will need to produce and store large amounts of cost-effective hydrogen from domestic energy sources, such as natural gas, solar and wind, said Daniel Dedrick, Sandia hydrogen program manager.

NREL study finds high-pressure hydrogen pipeline system could potentially make hydrogen cost-competitive with gasoline

Green Car Congress

About half of the levelized cost of retail station hydrogen can be attributed to hydrogen delivery, compression, and dispensing costs. Department of Energy (DOE) estimates that a dispensed cost of about $7/kg must be achieved to make FCEVs competitive with gasoline internal combustion engine vehicles in early FCEV markets.

San Francisco and Los Angeles) that are less than about 1500 km or 900 miles apart. For the study, the Hyperloop design team used a system servicing San Fransicso and Los Angeles. The total cost of Hyperloop in this analysis is under US$6 billion. This air is stored in onboard composite overwrap pressure vessels.
