It is found that the key factor limiting the potential use of liquid hydrogen as a primary means of hydrogen storage and transmission is the very high energy penalty due to high energy consumption of hydrogen liquefaction (13.83 kWh/kg LH2 on average) and high hydrogen boil-off losses that occurred

Many researchers have studied LH 2 storage from the perspective of tank structure, boil-off losses, insulation schemes, and storage conditions. A few review studies have also been published considering LH 2
Storing energy in hydrogen provides a dramatically higher energy density than any other energy storage medium. 8,10 Hydrogen is also a flexible energy storage medium which can be used
Both non-renewable energy sources like coal, natural gas, and nuclear power as well as renewable energy sources like hydro, wind, wave, solar, biomass, and geothermal energy can be used to produce hydrogen. The
On the other hand, energy storage in hydrogen has a much lower round-trip efficiency than batteries, resulting in significant energy losses during operation. Even at its present-day round-trip efficiency of 30%, however, it can provide
The efficiency of energy storage by compressed hydrogen gas is about 94% (Leung et al., 2004). resulting in a boil-off loss (Gursu et al., 1992). In order to minimize the boil-off, the storage
Currently, evaporation in the hydrogen liquefaction process causes a high hydrogen loss rate (~1–5%), significantly increasing the overall cost. Additionally, the evaporation or boil-off of LH 2 results in the loss of
Based on energy storage capacity (GWh) and discharge timescale, storing hydrogen in salt caverns can afford utility-scale, long-duration energy storage to meet the market need to shift excess off-peak energy to meet dispatchable on
Hydrogen (H 2) energy storage is the main option for longer periods with higher storage capacity. In 2021, H 2 demand reached 94 million tonnes, equivalent to about 2.5% of global final energy consumption. This
Dihydrogen (H2), commonly named ''hydrogen'', is increasingly recognised as a clean and reliable energy vector for decarbonisation and defossilisation by various sectors. The global hydrogen demand is projected to increase from 70
This publication is licensed under CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0 . The main challenges of liquid hydrogen (H 2) storage as one of the most promising techniques for large-scale transport and long-term storage include its high specific energy consumption (SEC), low exergy efficiency, high total expenses, and boil-off gas losses.
On the other hand, energy storage in hydrogen has a much lower round-trip efficiency than batteries, resulting in significant energy losses during operation. Even at its present-day round-trip efficiency of 30%, however, it can provide the same overall energy benefit as batteries when storing overgeneration from wind farms.
The primary limitations of hydrogen energy storage systems are the durability of the system components, high investment costs, and possible geographic requirements related to the hydrogen storage vessel [28,30].
Although the inclusion of carriers substantially reduces the gravimetric energy density, it markedly improves the volumetric energy density and significantly lowers the energy consumption during the storage process. This approach is likely to become the predominant direction for hydrogen storage development in the future.
Various hydrogen storage technologies have been developed, each with its own advantages and challenges. Compressed hydrogen storage requires high-pressure tanks and has limited capacity. Liquefaction requires cryogenic temperature and consumes a large amount of energy.
The low round-trip efficiency of hydrogen storage suggests that building this type of storage will always result in a less favorable net energy outcome than other technology options with higher round-trip efficiencies.
