In this study, various steps involving hydrogen production from biogas
, its storage and transportation, and its marketing as a commodity hav
e been reviewed. Various scenarios have been studied, and design and c
ost relationships have been developed for feasible alternatives. A cas
e study has been carried out for India, and an economic assessment has
been presented. It is found that the hydrogen production cost in indu
strial centers is 310YenGJ(-1) and the FOB export cost of liquefied hy
drogen to 10 000 km away, to Japan for example, is 1523 Yen GJ(-1). (C
