In this final portion of the series, we explore the challenges and opportunities in building a hydrogen economy. From infrastructure development and policy support to risk management and collaboration, actionable strategies and best practices are required for navigating the road ahead. By addressing key considerations and sharing practical insights, we are hoping industrial stakeholders will embrace the transition towards a hydrogen-based future with confidence and clarity.
Economic Viability and Scalability
Storage and Transportation Challenges
Storage Solutions: Hydrogen storage remains a complex issue due to its low energy density and the need for high-pressure or cryogenic conditions. Advancements in storage technologies, including compressed gas, liquid hydrogen, metal hydrides, and chemical carriers, each have their own set of challenges and benefits.
Transportation Logistics: Transporting hydrogen efficiently and safely is another significant challenge. Pipelines, liquefied hydrogen tankers, and ammonia conversion are some of the methods being explored.
