Storing the hydrogen. You need an extremely well insulated high pressure tank, that is either prohibitively heavy, expensive, large or all of the above.
Also, the consequences of that tank puncturing are a lot worse than a regular gasoline tank.
- senectus1 4y agoOR to change that hydrogen into something that stores and transports easier... Ammonia is one way, I have also read that the germans have developed something called powerpaste that essentially makes it inert for safe and simple transport. These are just the beginning. I am bullish on Hydrogen. I suspect it going to be very big in the future. It may not be a silver bullet (or THE solution) but its definitely going to be a big player.
- BLKNSLVR 4y agoDisolving hydrogen in ammonia has been discussed, in Australian media anyway, as a way that Australia could 'export it's sunlight' to the world. I also believe it's best to have at least a couple of option branches as there are a very wide number of use-cases, to all of which a single option is unlikely able to cater.
- DenisM 4y ago> the consequences of that tank puncturing are a lot worse than a regular gasoline tank Are they? Hydrogen should float up, up, and away. Just don’t store it indoors.
- grecy 4y agoThe very, very large problem comes when it ignites.
