[edit] Hydrogen pipeline transport
Hydrogen pipeline transport is a transportation of hydrogen through a pipe as part of the hydrogen infrastructure. Hydrogen pipeline transport is used to connect the point of hydrogen production or delivery of hydrogen with the point of demand, pipeline transport costs are similar to CNG[1], the technology is proven[2], however most hydrogen is produced on the place of demand with every 50 to 100 miles an industrial production facility.[3]. As of 2004 there are 900 miles (1450 km) of low pressure hydrogen pipelines in the USA and 930 miles in europe.
[edit] Hydrogen highway
A hydrogen highway is a chain of hydrogen-equipped filling stations and other infrastructure along a road or highway which allow hydrogen vehicles to travel.
[edit] Hydrogen stations
Hydrogen stations which are not situated near a hydrogen pipeline get supply via hydrogen tanks, hydrogen tube trailers, liquid tankers or dedicated onsite production.
