Technical feasibility of large-scale transportable liquid hydrogen export terminal

This study presents the design of a large-scale transportable liquid hydrogen export terminal and discusses its technical feasibility. The main specifications of the terminal include a daily production capacity of 120 ton and a storage capacity of 75,000 m3. The terminal is powered by renewable energy sources that conduct hydrogen production, liquefaction, storage, handling, and transfer. Through a discussion of the technical feasibility of each system, this study defines the technical challenges and provides possible solutions based on their current technology readiness. In addition, it outlines the technical challenges that must be addressed through future technological developments, including the scaling-up of single-stack electrolysis systems, liquefaction processes, and liquid hydrogen storage systems with vacuum insulation.
