Studies of the large-scale sea transportation of liquid hydrogen
Abstract
Hydrogen is anticipated to be one of the promising energy carriers used in the 21st century. In Japan, research for establishing a hydrogen energy technology is being conducted in the WE-NET (World Energy Net-work) research program of the New Sunshine Project, promoted by the Ministry of Trade and Industry since 1993 and aimed at completion in 2020.
At the first three years study of hydrogen tanker development, conceptual design of 200 000 m3 hydrogen tanker based on the liquid natural gas ship technology and some investigations on the insulation and support system for hydrogen tank were carried out by the joint shipyard team in WE-NET program. An outline of our research and some considerations are reported.

Numerical approach to analyze fluid flow in a type C tank for liquefied hydrogen carrier (part 2: Thermal flow)
2024, Journal of Energy StorageThe present study aimed to analyze and compare vacuum insulation systems suitable for a type C liquid hydrogen storage tank. Multiphase thermal analysis was conducted via computational fluid dynamics, and experimental results for the boil-off rate (BOR) of a type C liquid nitrogen storage tank were obtained to verify the simulation technique. The simulation results showed a maximum error of 0.941 % compared to experimental results. Three insulation systems with superior thermal performance were selected and compared in a 3D system. The Vacuum+MLI Mylar-net insulation system showed the best thermal performance, with a result of 0.189 %/day. An analysis of the parts vulnerable to heat loss was conducted. These findings contribute to the development of high-performance insulation systems for the safe and economic transportation of liquid hydrogen. The study is an important resource for assessing insulation performance during the design phase and preventing local heat loss during operation.
Techno-economic assessment of long-distance supply chains of energy carriers: Comparing hydrogen and iron for carbon-free electricity generation
2023, Applications in Energy and Combustion ScienceThe effective usage of renewable energy sources requires ways of storage and delivery to balance energy demand and availability divergences. Carbon-free chemical energy carriers are proposed solutions, converting clean electricity into stable media for storage, long-distance energy trade and on-demand electricity generation. Among them, hydrogen (H2) is noteworthy, being the subject of significant investment and research. Metal fuels, such as iron (Fe), represent another promising solution for a clean energy supply, but establishing an interconnected ecosystem still requires considerable research and development. This work proposes a model to assess the supply chain characteristics of hydrogen and iron as clean, carbon-free energy carriers and then examines case studies of possible trade routes between the potential energy exporters Morocco, Saudi Arabia, and Australia and the energy importers Germany and Japan. The work comprises the assessment of economic (levelized cost of electricity - LCOE), energetic (thermodynamic efficiency) and environmental (CO2 emissions) aspects, which are quantified by the comprehensive model accounting for the most critical processes in the supply chain. The assessment is complemented by sensitivity and uncertainty analyses to identify the main cost drivers. Iron is shown to be lower-cost and more efficient to transport in longer routes and for long-term storage, but potentially more expensive and less efficient than H2 to produce and convert. Uncertainties related to the supply chain specifications and the sensitivity to the used variables indicate that the path to viable energy carriers fundamentally depends on efficient synthesis, conversion, storage, and transport. A break-even analysis demonstrated that clean energy carriers could be competitive with conventional energy carriers at low renewable energy prices, while carbon taxes might be needed to level the playing field. Thereby, green iron shows potential to become an important energy carrier for long-distance trade in a globalized clean energy market.
Structural design of flexible vacuum insulation system for large-scale LH<inf>2</inf> storage
2022, International Journal of Hydrogen EnergyThis study describes a new vacuum insulation system, consisting of a flexible vacuum membrane and a load-transferring insulation layer comprising polyurethane foam (PUF), for large-scale LH2 storage tanks. The vacuum membrane has a novel corrugated geometry to accommodate in-plane displacements induced by the thermal contraction of the inner tank, whereas the PUF layer transfers the external pressure load acting on the outer membrane onto the inner tank. To demonstrate and validate the overall performance of the proposed vacuum insulation system during extreme cooling at 253 it is applied to a 12,500-m3-LH2 tank of the “lattice pressure vessel” type. Geometrically non-linear elastic–plastic analysis results show that the vacuum membrane deforms elastically under normal operating conditions of 1 atm pressure and 3 mm/m contraction displacement. The membrane is capable of withstanding harsh conditions, where both the pressure and displacement loads increase significantly.
Renewable hydrogen imports for the German energy transition – A comparative life cycle assessment
2022, Journal of Cleaner ProductionHydrogen imports are considered as a promising pillar for the defossilisation of the German energy system. One of the main concerns when discussing hydrogen solutions is its environmental performance, especially with regard to its greenhouse gas emissions. While a large number of life cycle assessments (LCA) helps to thoroughly understand the impacts of domestic hydrogen production, the assessment of international supply chains remains scarce. On that account, this study performs a comparative LCA of liquefied hydrogen imports from Chile, Canada and Morocco to Germany in a cradle-to-gate approach. A scenario and sensitivity analysis allows to analyse the main drivers on the ecological meaningfulness and to derive recommendations for the establishment of renewable hydrogen supply chains. The results show that the import of renewable hydrogen can outperform domestic production in some cases. In the defined base case, the global warming potential of hydrogen delivered to the German gas grid ranges from 1.505 to 2.457 kgCO2eq/kgH2 or 45.2 to 73.7 gCO2eq/kWhH2,LHV for wind-based imports. Domestically produced hydrogen from wind shows emissions of 1.989 kgCO2eq/kgH2 or 59.7 gCO2eq/kWhH2,LHV. Results for hydrogen produced by solar PV range from 3.787 to 4.008 kgCO2eq/kgH2 or 113.6 to 120.3 gCO2eq/kWhH2,LHV for imports (5.195 kgCO2eq/kgH2 or 155.9 gCO2eq/kWhH2,LHV for domestic production). However, while for domestic hydrogen electrolysis is by far the predominant process step, the entire process chain needs to be taken into consideration for importing cases (e.g. the shipping distance and fuel, the electricity source for hydrogen liquefaction).
Recent advances in hydrogen compressors for use in large-scale renewable energy integration
2022, International Journal of Hydrogen EnergyGiven global warming, which limits the use of classical energy sources, renewables can provide a solution to the dilemma between environmental protection and sustainable economic growth. In this complex and changing context, green hydrogen can become a promising link between renewable energy sources and end users. However, although hydrogen has a high gravitational energy density, it has a very low volumetric energy density. This challenge requires hydrogen compression at several stages in the supply chain from electrolysis units to conversion, storage, and distribution. Recently, many studies have focused on hydrogen compression technologies. This paper provides an overview of recent advances in large-scale hydrogen compression. First, the role of hydrogen compression in providing clean energy for the future is explored. Then the thermodynamic concept of hydrogen compression is investigated. Gaining a proper understanding of compressor operating conditions in various operations in the large hydrogen industry is the next focus of this paper. Later, the capabilities and limitations of available mechanical compressors for the hydrogen industry, including reciprocation and centrifugal, are summarized. Finally, research gap and recommended new areas in this field are recognized. The presented insightful concepts provide students, experts, researchers, and decision-making working on large-scale hydrogen industry with the state of the art in hydrogen compressors industry.
Economic analysis of a zero-carbon liquefied hydrogen tanker ship
2022, International Journal of Hydrogen EnergyThe green hydrogen economy is considered one of the sustainable solutions to mitigate climate change. This study provides an economic analysis of a novel liquified hydrogen (LH2) tanker fuelled by hydrogen with a total capacity of ∼280,000 m3 of liquified hydrogen named ‘JAMILA’. An established economic method was applied to investigate the economic feasibility of the JAMILA ship as a contribution to the future zero-emission target. The systematic economic evaluation determined the net present value of the LH2 tanker, internal rate of return, payback period, and economic value added to support and encourage shipyards and the industrial sector in general. The results indicate that the implementation of the LH2 tanker ship can cover the capital cost of the ship within no more than 2.5 years, which represents 8.3% of the assumed 30-year operational life cycle of the project in the best maritime shipping prices conditions and 6 years in the worst-case shipping marine economic conditions. Therefore, the assessment of the economic results shows that the LH2 tankers may be a worthwhile contribution to the green hydrogen economy.
