Particularly, hard-to-abate sectors like aviation, shipping, steel production, and back up electricity supply can be promising applications for this energy carrier in its elementary form or as a derivative. In this context, different hydrogen supply chains are introduced, analyzed and discussed. While compressed gaseous hydrogen supply via pipeline networks offer cost advantages for shorter distances, seaborne transportation of liquid hydrogen can be a viable option for longer-distance transportation, leveraging regions with abundant renewable sources of energy. Material-based carriers like ammonia, methanol, and to some extend LOHCs are considered short-term solutions due to their established infrastructure, although they pose higher energy demands and costs for hydrogen release at the consumption site.enAmmonia | Green Hydrogen | Liquid Hydrogen | LOHC | Methanol | Supply ChainsSocial Sciences::333: Economics of Land and Energy::333.7: Natural Resources, Energy and EnvironmentBook part10.1007/978-3-031-62411-7_12Other
