Energy Density Hydrogen Diesel Comparison
Today, there is a comparison between the energy density of hydrogen and diesel. Hydrogen has a high energy density, and the energy contained per unit mass is very large. In terms of quality, the energy stored in hydrogen far exceeds that of diesel, which is one of the major advantages of hydrogen.
However, diesel also has its own characteristics. Although its energy density is not as good as that of hydrogen in terms of quality, in practical applications, diesel has a more mature system for storage and transportation. Diesel does not need to be stored under the same severe conditions as hydrogen, and it is convenient to transport. Under the existing infrastructure, it can be widely used in various power systems.
In contrast, hydrogen has a high energy density, but its storage requires special means such as high pressure or low temperature, which is expensive and safety risks need to be taken into account. At the application level, the power system and infrastructure building suitable for hydrogen energy are still in the development stage, and the road to popularization is still long.
To make hydrogen energy and diesel energy keep pace in the energy application field, it is not only necessary to overcome the problems of storage and transportation, but also to speed up the construction of infrastructure, so as to give full play to the advantages of hydrogen's high energy density and develop its strengths with diesel to promote the development of the energy field.
