Summary

This article describes the conceptual designs of LH2 (liquid hydrogen) tankers and LH2 ground tanks, elementary tests of various insulations, and also the LH2 infrastructure for fuel cell vehicles. The Japanese hydrogen project, WE-NET (World Energy Network), has shown that high density LH2 is the most promising medium for transporting and storing large-mass hydrogen efficiently and economically. In the future, large mass liquid hydrogen storage technology for ground tanks and ocean tankers will be needed, and the commercial scale may be the same as existing LNG storage systems, which have a storage capacity of several hundreds of thousands of cubic meters. This study concluded that an optimized thermal insulation structure for a large storage tank should be developed.
