Hydrogen can be compressed as a high-pressure gas to make it easier to handle
Hydrogen can be compressed into a high-pressure gas to make it easier to transport and use. The compression of hydrogen typically starts with mechanical compressors that increase the gas's pressure from its production state to a higher pressure suitable for storage 1. These compressors incrementally raise the hydrogen pressure to levels ranging from 200 to 700 bar, depending on the intended use and storage requirements 2.
