To determine the best option for hydrogen transport and storage, several factors must be considered: the flow rate produced; the distance from the production plant to the consumption points; the complementarity of end uses; the suitability for final conditioning; and the use in different types of consumption. 

The alternatives that currently exist for hydrogen transport and storage are physical storage, compressed hydrogen, liquefied hydrogen or using adsorbent materials, and chemical storage using hydrogen carrier compounds or chemical hydrides, such as ammonia or LOHCs (Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carriers), and metal hydrides. In addition, safety is a fundamental and important part of this section.
