How is hydrogen stored and transported?

Three main methods: compressed gas tanks (350-700 bar, most common for short distances), cryogenic liquid (-253°C, for ships and long-distance), and chemical carriers (ammonia at €0.40/kg conversion cost, or LOHCs). Pipelines are cheapest for high-volume, fixed routes at €0.10-0.30/kg per 1,000 km.
