Hydrogen transport and distribution equipment includes specialised containers, pipelines, compressors, valves, and delivery systems designed to safely handle hydrogen gas. This equipment plays a key role in the hydrogen supply chain, from production sites to end users in industrial, transport, and energy sectors.
Some examples include:
- High-pressure hydrogen cylinders and tube trailers
- Cryogenic liquid hydrogen tankers and storage vessels
- Hydrogen pipeline infrastructure and compressor stations
- Fuel dispensing units and hydrogen refuelling stations
- Hydrogen pumps, valves, and flow control systems
This equipment must meet stringent safety standards due to hydrogen’s unique properties, such as high flammability, low ignition energy, and high diffusivity, which present fire and explosion risks.
