Hydrogen has an unusual characteristic that could be a key to its cost-effective deployment as a zero-emission fuel for aviation. When stored as a compressed gas at cryogenic temperature, the fuel has a higher energy density than liquid hydrogen while avoiding many of the handling and safety issues...
