How Much Hydrogen Fuel Cost

On the Consumption of Hydrogen Fuel
In ancient times, those who want to understand the consumption of hydrogen fuel should first check its source. There are many methods for the production of hydrogen. Or use water and electricity to solve it, then a huge amount of electricity is required, and the tariff of electricity is geometric, so the cost of hydrogen is related. And the purification of water also costs money and money, and the purchase, operation and maintenance of the equipment used are all costs.

There are also those who use fossil fuel reforming to obtain hydrogen. Fossil fuels have their own price, but the cost of extraction, transportation, and processing is no longer expensive. The reforming process requires energy consumption, and the input of catalysts is not a small number. In this way, the output cost of hydrogen is not high?

As for the storage of hydrogen, it is particularly difficult. The nature of hydrogen is lively and easy to escape. To store it, a special container is required, and its material and process are strictly required. Low-temperature liquefaction and storage of hydrogen, refrigeration equipment and energy consumption required to maintain low temperatures, all lead to rising costs. High-pressure gaseous hydrogen storage, the pressure resistance standard of the container is extremely high, and the cost of manufacturing is also high.

The transportation of hydrogen is also a costly move. If hydrogen is transported by pipeline, the laying and maintenance of the pipeline will require countless funds. And the pipeline material needs to be able to resist hydrogen embrittlement, which increases the cost. If it is transported by vehicle, the modification, safety protection, and loss of the vehicle will make the transportation cost of hydrogen expensive.

Looking at all aspects, the consumption of hydrogen fuel, from self-made collection, storage to transportation, is interlinked, and it is expensive at every step. To reduce its cost, it is necessary to make efforts in all aspects, seek technological innovation, and seek technological refinement, so as to make the consumption of hydrogen fuel applicable to the public and widely available in the world.
