Résumé

The hydrogen business is complicated, big and fast growing. The production and distribution of hydrogen requires a complex system of crude hydrogen sourcing, involves a variety of processes to refine the crude to merchantable pure hydrogen, and has its own unique liquid and gas distribution supply chain. The supply chain - from plant to customer - has many production and transport cost variables. Very large volumes of hydrogen are supplied from huge plants to refineries and other large processing industries. At the other end of the hydrogen spectrum, very small volumes of ultrahigh purity hydrogen in specialty gas cylinders are supplied to laboratories and research activities. This variety of customers together with the mixture of gas and liquid supply of hydrogen via different modes - pipe, tanker, tube trailer, cylinder and generators - makes the business of hydrogen one of the most interesting and challenging in the industrial gas industry.
