Description

Background Art

[0002] Hydrogen energy is an important part of the future national energy system and an important carrier for energy-consuming terminals to achieve green and low-carbon transformation. The current development of the hydrogen energy industry is still constrained by factors such as high costs and weak infrastructure, among which the key bottleneck is storage and transportation. Storage and transportation costs account for 40-50% of the terminal consumption costs of hydrogen, and the existing storage and transportation methods are small-scale, inefficient, costly, and poorly economical. Pipeline transportation has the advantages of large transmission volume, low energy consumption, and low cost. It is an important way to achieve high-density and long-distance transportation of hydrogen. "Pipeline transportation + storage" will be a prerequisite for significantly reducing the cost of hydrogen energy and supporting large-scale and multi-scenario applications of hydrogen energy.
