«During filling of a liquid hydrogen tank that is lightweight enough to fly on an aircraft, cryogenic hydrogen gas is expelled, resulting in filling losses, the Universal Hydrogen reported. “So directly refueling aircraft at airports with liquid hydrogen would result in approximately 15% of filling losses.
This is not only costly, but also a significant quantity of hydrogen that needs to be managed (e.g. by compressing and storing it, or venting as in the picture below).
With our modular hydrogen solution, the entire cryogenic filling process is taken away from airports, allowing much slower filling hence reduced expelled hydrogen that can then be recovered by our filling facility”.
