Hydrogen Part 3: Hydrogen is not a Commodity Like Petroleum — Understanding the Differences

It’s easy to think of hydrogen as a substitute for petroleum. But petroleum is both an energy source and carrier and can be easily stored. Replacing it will require a triad of electricity, hydrogen and ammonia (NH3) and there are challenges with transporting and storing all three. This webinar explained the role of each, described this new energy paradigm, and compared the trade-offs between transportation costs and conversion losses.
