The energy loss during this process is about 40%, while the energy loss in compressed H 2 storage is approximately 10% (Barthelemy et al., 2017). Besides, a proportion of stored liquid hydrogen is lost (about 0.2% in large and 2–3% in smaller containers daily), which is due to evaporation (known as the boil-off).
