Iowa Energy Center Grant: Literature Review of Hydrogen Production, Storage, Transportation and Utilization Technology |
 | | Hydrogen, like electricity, is an energy carrier and not an energy source, and significant research is underway to test the feasibility of a future transition to a total hydrogen energy economy. |
 | | Compressed gaseous hydrogen transport is only possible in heavy, expensive vessels that can withstand pressures up to 10,000 psi, or a system of pipelines that must either be constructed from the bottom up or retrofitted from existing natural gas pipelines. |
 | | Though hydrogen leaks are considered by most to be harmless because hydrogen is common to the universe, molecular hydrogen leaks may wreak havoc on the atmosphere. |
