Liquid hydrogen pressurization and filling offer higher efficiency and lower costs. Since liquids are far less compressible than gases, the high-pressure liquid hydrogen piston pumps used for hydrogen refueling can achieve outlet pressures up to 875 bar, with energy consumption significantly lower than hydrogen compressors of equivalent pressressing capacity.

   Currently, over 400 hydrogen refueling stations worldwide already use liquid hydrogen for storage and transportation, accounting for approximately one-third of the total. Hydrogen stations utilizing liquid hydrogen storage and transportation have lower construction and operational costs, facilitating infrastructure development and fostering a virtuous cycle between hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and station deployment.

   Moreover, liquid hydrogen storage and transportation play a critical role in the future hydrogen energy supply chain and serve as a key enabler for the large-scale adoption of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.
