South Korea Shipbuilding converts the vaporized hydrogen from liquid hydrogen into energy, reports the Korea Herald.
Liquid hydrogen
Chill hydrogen to liquid at minus 253 degrees Celsius and the volume shrinks to one-eight-hundredth of its size. As hydrogen is too bulky as a gas, liquidating it is being looked at for transportation.
But there is a problem: Under normal storage, liquid hydrogen boils off at the rate of 2-3 percent a day. By the time it arrives at Korean shores, as much as 20-30 percent of the tank would be empty.
