Episode 4: Hydrogenie in the bottle? Infrastructure Needs of Hydrogen Economy
Hydrogen economy needs supporting infrastructure. Hydrogen is a gas. We have transported and stored various gases in pipes and tanks for well over a century. Is hydrogen somehow different to for example natural gas? Can we reuse existing transmission infrastructure? Where should new hydrogen pipes be built and why? How is the electricity grid connected to this decision? And how the electricity grid infrastructure supports the hydrogen economy?
