Doesnt it take a lot of energy to compress and liquefy hydrogen?
Back to FAQs Yes, liquefying hydrogen can consume 20-40% of the energy being stored. However, the same nuclear facilities that produce the hydrogen also produce electricity that can be used to chill and liquefy the hydrogen. Since no pollution is being produced and there is no consumption of finite fossil fuels, the traditional concept of efficiency is moot when hydrogen is produced using nuclear energy.
