a comparison between Provaris’ Compressed Hydrogen and the Suiso Frontier’s Liquefied Hydrogen Carriage based on the information available:
Provaris’ Compressed Hydrogen:
Provaris Energy is developing a marine transport and supply chain for compressed hydrogen1.
They are developing proprietary gaseous hydrogen containment tanks for carriers and storage solutions1. The H2Neo (430-tonne) and H2Max (2,000-tonne) capacity carriers and the H2Leo storage barge (300 - 600 tonne capacity range) designs are advancing through to final marine classification and approvals

Provaris advocates for the development of regional hydrogen supply chains that focus on energy efficiency, delivered cost, and simplicity to execute

Provaris’ Report compared the delivery cost of hydrogen using compression, liquefaction, and ammonia as the transportation method – across the entire value supply chain, from renewable energy generation to delivered gaseous hydrogen to the customer

Based on the analysis and outcomes of the Report – compression is the most efficient when you analyse the full value chain

Suiso Frontier’s Liquefied Hydrogen Carriage:
The Suiso Frontier is the world’s first liquefied hydrogen carrier
https://www.hydrogenenergysupplychai...uiso-frontier/
The ship was completed in 2020, designed and constructed by Kawasaki Heavy Industries

The ship has been used to transport liquefied hydrogen from the Port of Hastings, Victoria, to Kobe, Japan

The ship’s centrepiece is its 1,250 m3 Liquefied Hydrogen (LH2) storage tank

The tank can safely carry liquefied hydrogen at 1/800th of its original gas-state volume

The tank keeps the hydrogen at the cryogenic temperature of –253°Chttps://www.hydrogenenergysupplychain.com/about-the-pilot/supply-chain/the-suiso-frontier/
In conclusion, both methods have their own advantages and are suited for different applications. Provaris’ compressed hydrogen is more energy-efficient and cost-effective for regional distances, while the Suiso Frontier’s liquefied hydrogen carriage allows for large-scale international transport. However, it’s important to note that these technologies are still in their early stages, and further advancements are expected as research and development continue.
