The cost of storing and transporting hydrogen have been one of the main challenges for the realization of the hydrogen economy. Liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHC) are a promising novel solution to tackle these challenges. In this paper we compare the LOHC concept to compressed gas truck delivery and on-site production of hydrogen via water electrolysis. As a case study we consider transportation of by-product hydrogen from chlor-alkali and chlorate plants to a single industrial customer, which was considered to have the greatest potential for the LOHC technology to enter the markets. The results show that the LOHC delivery chain could significantly improve the economics of long distance road transport. For economic feasibility, the most critical parameters identified are the heat supply method for releasing hydrogen at the end-user site and the investment costs for LOHC reactors.

氢气的储存和运输成本一直是实现氢气经济的主要挑战之一。液态有机氢载体（LOHC）是解决这些挑战的有前途的新颖解决方案。在本文中，我们将LOHC概念与压缩气体卡车运输和通过水电解现场生产氢气进行了比较。作为案例研究，我们考虑将副产品氢气从氯碱和氯酸盐工厂运输到单个工业客户，这被认为是LOHC技术进入市场的最大潜力。结果表明，LOHC交付链可以显着改善长途公路运输的经济性。为了经济可行性，
