Cryogenic liquid is the only form of hydrogen storage that is presently capable of competing with gasoline on the basis of weight and vehicle range; however, a larger volume is required and its extreme cold will require special considerations. At least six hydrogen fuel projects, involving six container designs and six vehicles, have used liquid hydrogen storage. Some of these projects used existing laboratory type containers while others involve containers designed especially for the project. Service (refueling) stations and bulk distribution systems can be built using present technology. These can be similar in concept to the present service stations and distribution systems. Vehicle refueling and bulk liquid hydrogen transfer will probably be computer controlled - automated as completely as possible. Liquid hydrogen can begin its entry into the automotive fuel picture as a fuel for fixed-base vehicles such as trucks, buses, taxis, etc., and expanded into the private sector as its availability increases.
