Key influencing factors on hydrogen storage and transportation costs: A systematic literature review

Cost-effective hydrogen supply chains are crucial for accelerating hydrogen deployment and decarbonizing economies, with the storage and transportation sectors representing major challenges. This study presents a systematic literature review of 81 papers to identify and analyze the main influencing factors on hydrogen storage and transportation costs, with the aim of improving transparency across the hydrogen supply chain. The review identifies and assesses 25 technical, nine economic, and two environmental factors, highlighting capital expenditure and capacity of storage and transport facilities as the primary drivers of storage and transportation costs. Furthermore, transport distance for trucks and ships,…
