Proven, really?[edit]

How can this technology be proven when the supporting source is taken from a DOE workshop? There's also no mention of "appropriate technology" or safety concerns about the use of hydrogen infrastructure. I don't think you can call a technology proven until it's widespread use with little to no incidents-- also with all things potentially going into practical utility use, there's little to no mention anywhere about the impacts on development and right-of-way. Bad encyclopedic form like this lends the "facts" in there articles to be abused and propagated clouding the real rational debate behind topics such as this.

This article smells of original research and unverified claims by a futurist or a design engineer. It's already pretty much been proven in an urban planning and real estate development outlook that hydrogen infrastructure is completely inappropriate in development densities past 2 development units per acre. Primarily due to leaks and 'pooling' of hydrogen but also due to mitigating concerns over the caustic nature of hydrogen. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.204.199.52 (talk) 19:48, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

do you have any references for your statements ? in the meantime read reference 7 on Hydrogen station.Mion (talk) 20:20, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Low-content article, replace with disambiguation page[edit]

This article is simply average glosses on Hydrogen pipeline transport, Hydrogen highway, and Hydrogen station, with mention of alternative ways of fueling the latter. (Plus some undated blurbage about how awesome South Carolina's plans are.) I don't know all that WP:acronym terminology, but why not just replace with a disambiguation page that links to those three articles? -- Skierpage (talk) 23:36, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

@Skierpage Glad to see you are still active - hope you can comment on merger proposal at bottom of this page Chidgk1 (talk) 18:07, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Are explosions in stations common?[edit]

Any kind of "explosions" in these (or other infrastructure)?

There was one this week (but I was WRONG, it was a methane station,[1] and "pressure explosion", no ignition, I'm told; a tourist was putting methane on a non-methane container) in one station (there are I believe a few, but only(?) one station for hydrogen) in Iceland (it was misused.. nobody died..). comp.arch (talk) 15:35, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hydrogen fuel infrastructure[edit]

There's no end of material that could be written about hydrogen infrastructure in the large, even if the hydrogen highway never materializes at scale.

Probably this is a bigger topic at the end of the day than one can reasonable shoehorn into hydrogen economy.

This article presently fixates on hydrogen filling-station infrastructure, almost entirely targeted at civilian road transport.

As a comment from long ago points out, this article as it stands isn't much of a value add to other overlapping pages.

My vote: either broaden the focus, or collapse the tent. — MaxEnt 18:41, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@MaxEnt I would welcome your opinion below Chidgk1 (talk) 18:05, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge sub-topics into here[edit]

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

The result of this discussion was to merge. Chidgk1 (talk) 14:12, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I propose to merge Hydrogen pipeline transport, Hydrogen highway, Hydrogen tank and Hydrogen station into here as I think none of those are worthy of their own articles. Chidgk1 (talk) 17:35, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The alternative I proposed was to make this a disambiguation page. Either is better than the current duplication. Hydrogen tank and Hydrogen station have a bit more information, but I think you could pull them all together (which would leave just one page to watch for unwarranted boosterism and puffery from Hydrogen Economy™ hypers ;-) ). Why not Underground hydrogen storage as well? -- Skierpage (talk) 03:42, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is already a fairly long Hydrogen storage article so maybe Underground hydrogen storage should be merged into there rather than here Chidgk1 (talk) 15:21, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
