Description
This dataset represents the supply of 1 kilogram of hydrogen. It does NOT include teh hydrogen input, but only the share of input lost to the atmosphere. The hydrogen is distributed by pipeline over 250 km to the regional storage (Geological cavity) and transported another 250 km to the consumer. The hydrogen represents the market average for the region. Transmission loss [% output]: 0.0007125%. Regional storage loss [% output]: 0.69. Arrives at 30 bar of pressure.
