LH2 Scale up : Technology challenges

LNG LH2 (Current)

Safety No major incidents Entirely different molecule, lack of experience

Extreme Cryogenics [New Materials & Equipment] 120K 20K

Boiloff Rate (BOR) [Insulation Technology] <1%/day 6-8X more

Cost of Shipping [>20,000m3 LH2 tank] <$0.2/Kg LH2 Eq > $2/Kg LH2

Affordable Large Scale Liquefaction <$0.4/Kg LH2 eq. > $2/Kg Lh2
