BP and BOC have completed a joint study
Compressed gas best option for UK refuelling network – BP
Liquid hydrogen network could develop in longer term, says firm, following joint study with BOC
A road transport network for hydrogen in the UK would be best supplied by compressed gas distributed in trailers, according to a joint study by BP and industrial gases firm BOC. Over the longer term, a liquid hydrogen distribution network will start to play a greater role as the network expands. “If we are to meet net-zero targets, tackling road freight emissions needs to happen now. This study shows us the optimal ways in which hydrogen can be used to help decarbonise the UK freight sector,” says Jim Mercer, president of BOC UK & Ireland. Most vehicle manufacturers use compressed gaseous hydrogen, but some firms are beginning to develop liquid hydrogen infrastructure. “If we are t
