Optimizing hydrogen transportation system for mobility by minimizing the cost of transportation via compressed gas truck in North Rhine-Westphalia

The results show that the hydrogen demand on the region, which increases from 2030 to 2050, has an impact on how and at which flow hydrogen demand is transported from the production nodes to the different distribution hubs. In 2050, hydrogen is predominantly transported and stored between the storage nodes and the distribution hubs at a high-pressure level of 500 and 540 bar, whilst it is mainly transported at 250 and 350 bar in 2030. Production is predominantly found to be transported at high pressure for both years and located in the region in 2030, whereas imports from the south and north are required in 2050.
