This research proposes to look at each of these hydrogen transport vectors in depth and construct software which willallow developers to input their particular parameters and determine the optimal route for their hydrogen productto reach it's destination(s).This will look at the technological and economic factors determining the best transport vector for green hydrogen,produced from offshore renewables. This will consider transport from the likely production sites such as areas ofgood offshore wind resource to predicted demand sites such as nearby industry and ports. This will consider thereuse of existing oil and gas infrastructure, such as pipelines, as well as the construction of purpose built pipelines,and the transport of green hydrogen in tube trailers, via rail and as liquid hydrogen or as part of a chemical carriersuch as ammonia.
