Analysis of the transport vectors available for hydrogen and the technical, economic and regulatory factors which influence them

这项研究建议深入研究每一个氢运输载体，并构建软件，允许开发人员输入他们特定的参数，并确定氢气产品到达目的地的最佳路线(S)。这项研究将着眼于确定从海上可再生能源生产的绿色氢的最佳运输载体的技术和经济因素。这将考虑从可能的生产地点，如良好的海上风能资源地区，运输到预测需求的地点，如附近的工业和港口。这将考虑使用现有的石油和天然气基础设施，如管道，以及建造专门建造的管道，并在管道拖车中运输绿色氢气，通过铁路或作为液氢或作为化学品运输船的一部分，如氨。

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.
