Introduction to hydrogen
Hydrogen is the simplest of all chemical elements and the
most abundant element in the universe.
Can be used as an energy vector a way to move, store
and convert energy
Can be used to support power, heat and transport
applications
It is a flammable gas which allows it to perform almost all
the same heating roles as hydrocarbons
Can be converted into electricity using fuel cells (or through
more conventional combustion in a heat engine such as a
gas turbine)
Main shortcomings are:
its low volumetric energy density
the energy losses when converting it to and from
electricity
Hydrogen is potentially one of the most flexible and broadly
applicable energy vectors available

Pipeline
High fixed costs, low operating costs
Limited option as currently there is very little
pipeline infrastructure
