Advancing Hydrogen Transfer & Distribution
An Energy Carrier with Zero-Loss Capabilities
After hydrogen is liquefied and stored, the transfer and distribution systems are responsible for moving it to areas where it will be used. The transfer challenge of liquid hydrogen (LH2) is a step in the value chain that is often an afterthought or neglected. Offloading or transferring LH2 can be one of the biggest steps of hydrogen loss. GenH2’s innovative technology provides an integral servicing approach to transfer hydrogen while offering zero loss.
To keep liquid hydrogen energy-dense and pure, advanced refrigerated storage systems are used to enhance its longevity and eliminate or mitigate boil-off. Additional challenges can arise and cause boil-off when hydrogen is transferred from storage systems. Significant hydrogen can be lost during the offtake process unless a zero-loss transfer process is used. GenH2 has developed a Controlled Refrigerated Transfer (CRT) system that operates like controlled refrigerated storage by using a smart process to prevent boil-off and preserve the liquid hydrogen. This is a key puzzle piece to enabling the success of hydrogen as a clean energy option.
Liquid hydrogen is best transferred and dispensed to the end user through a controlled refrigeration system that actively controls the fluid while minimizing losses. Utilizing a system that controls the fluid creates an environment that can fully optimize the hydrogen’s properties throughout the transfer and dispensing process. GenH2’s Controlled Refrigerated Transfer and Controlled Refrigerated Storage systems create an end-to-end zero-loss hydrogen solution that will reduce costs and maximize energy value.
