Description (excerpt):
Interest in hydrogen for energy generation and energy storage is increasing across the country, fueled in part by the past promises of federal funding and the potential to reuse existing fossil fuel infrastructure and supply frameworks. However, hydrogen—the lightest and least dense element is notoriously difficult to transport and store as a gas. While hydrogen is touted for its high energy density by weight, its energy density by volume is extremely low. To deliver the same amount of energy as natural gas, three times the volume of hydrogen gas is needed.
