Hydrogen compressors

Compressed hydrogen is used as an alternative fuel. Industrial production is mainly from reforming natural gas, because methods as the electrolysis of water are more energy-intensive.

For environmental reasons the electrolysis of water by solar-to-hydrogen or wind-to-hydrogen plants (power-to-gas) is an interesting option.

Hydrogen has a very low volumetric energy density, even when the fuel is stored as liquid hydrogen. The volumetric energy density (mega-joules per liter) is small relative to that of gasoline.

To store liquid hydrogen in a hydrogen storage tank a hydrogen compressor is necessary.
