Can lng store hydrogen

Can LNG & hydrogen be blended?

LNG + HYDROGEN For transportation applications the LNG and the liquid hydrogen cannot be blended for physical reasons. At atmospheric pressure, LNG is liquid between -162°C and -182°C while, in this range of temperature, hydrogen is gaseous and cannot be blended since the mix of a liquid and a gas is not possible (biphasic).

What is the difference between LNG and hydrogen?

At atmospheric pressure, LNG is liquid between -162°C and -182°C while, in this range of temperature, hydrogen is gaseous and cannot be blended since the mix of a liquid and a gas is not possible (biphasic). 1 Present, there is no engine that can switch from 100% LNG to 100% hydrogen. Other issues are currently investigated by MARCOGAZ. 3.

Are LNG terminals ready to import and store hydrogen?

After an adaptation process, LNG terminals can be ready to import and store hydrogen in various forms. GIE has identified a number of pathways33 including liquefied hydrogen, LOHC, or other chemical carriers built with hydrogen (e. g. methanol, ammonia, etc.).

Is hydrogen a viable option for LNG exports?

While natural gas-based low-carbon hydrogen production may play a major role in supporting LNG exports, the model-based scenario analysis also shows that directly exporting pure hydrogen does not appear to be a viable option for most LNG producers.

Does LNG cooling work for liquid hydrogen?

due to the much lower boiling point of hydrogen compared to oxygen and nitrogen, the cooling concept for LNG does not work for liquid hydrogen. New compressors will likely be needed. This view is also shared by a further academic interviewee [AI 2].

Can low-carbon hydrogen be used in LNG production?

The model-based analysis shows that low-carbon hydrogen production could become a significant user of natural gas and thus stabilise global LNG demand. Furthermore, commercial and operational synergies could assist the LNG industry in developing a value chain around natural gas-based low-carbon hydrogen.
