up:: Clean hydrogen
Description of venture idea
It’s expected that some countries will produce significant amounts of green hydrogen, while other countries will want to important a lot of hydrogen. Many people are scratching their heads around how to transport hydrogen across oceans: liquid hydrogen, ammonia, metallic zinc, etc.
What if we just put the hydrogen in gigantic balloons (basically zeppelins)?
Market needs this venture would address
Technical capabilities this venture might leverage
Zeppelins?
A typical oil tanker carries 20 million gallons of oil. That is roughly the same energy content as 20 million kg of hydrogen. Compare with a floating zeppelin which would only cary somewhere on the order of 50,000 kg of hydrogen. So it takes 400 zeppelins to carry the energy of one oil tanker. Not great.
