Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2019215403A1] The invention relates to a method for storing and distributing liquefied hydrogen using a facility (1) that comprises a store (4) of liquid hydrogen at a predetermined storage pressure, a source (2) of hydrogen gas, a liquefier (3) comprising an inlet connected to the source (2) and an outlet connected to the liquid hydrogen store (4), the store (4) comprising a pipe (10) for drawing liquid, comprising one end connected to the liquid hydrogen store (4) and one end intended for being connected to at least one mobile tank (8), the method comprising a step of liquefying hydrogen gas supplied by the source (2) and a step of transferring the liquefied hydrogen into the store (4), characterised in that the hydrogen liquefied by the liquefier (3) and transferred into the store (4) has a temperature lower than the bubble temperature of hydrogen at the storage pressure.
