The test system – for liquification, storage, and transfer of hydrogen – has supplied data for validating performance and mitigating technical risks.

The Florida-based subsidiary of Path2 Hydrogen says it has been using the technology, named the Cryostat CS900 LH2 Simulation Test Platform (CS900), in various scenarios without boil-off losses.

It will offer insight into how the firm will apply its standardised liquid hydrogen infrastructure solutions.

James Fesmire, Chief Architect and Co-Founder of GenH2 said the test platform has provided “unprecedented” comprehension for accelerating new standards in liquification storage, and transfer of hydrogen.

While liquid hydrogen is often positioned as a higher-efficiency alternative to hydrogen carriers such as ammonia, scaling the infrastructure has remained a technical bottleneck.

Liquification can be energy-intensive, long-distance transport is challenging – requiring temperatures lower than -253ºC – and advanced insulation and specialised materials are required to minimise boil-off losses.

Major companies, including Kawasaki and a tripartite consortium featuring Air Products, Airbus, and Rotterdam The Hague Airport, have looked to incorporate liquid hydrogen in projects within the last year.
