Hydrogen storage and transportation is a key link connecting hydrogen production and applications. It plays an important role in regulating the temporal and spatial mismatch of green hydrogen supply and demand, and realizing the flexible supply of green hydrogen. Hydrogen storage and transportation can be realized through high-pressure gas hydrogen, cryogenic liquid hydrogen, solid-state hydrogen storage, organic liquid hydrogen storage, liquid ammonia, methanol and other forms. In the aspect of fundamental research, it is important to reveal the damage mechanism and evolution law of hydrogen storage and transportation equipment under cryogenic, high-pressure and hydrogen conditions, and develop high-performance and low-cost hydrogen resistant materials, put forward innovative design concepts and methods of hydrogen storage and transportation equipment, and ensure safe and reliable service of hydrogen storage and transportation equipment. In terms of technology development and engineering application, it is necessary to investigate large-scale and high-efficiency hydrogen liquefaction technology, as well as core components and material technologies such as liquid hydrogen pumps, filling guns, seals, etc., to find out the compatibility of domestic steel pipes and hydrogen (or hydrogen-doped natural gas), etc., and accelerate the overall arrangement of hydrogen-doped natural gas pipelines and flexible non-metallic hydrogen pipelines in design and manufacturing, safety testing, technical standards and engineering demonstration.
