Alternative fuel research has become widespread due to climate crises. Unlike fossil fuels, hydrogen does not release toxic gases such as HC (hydrocarbon) and CO (carbon monoxide) during combustion, and this makes it a prominent feature in alternative fuel research. This article is about the methods of storing hydrogen by liquefaction and the details of its use in internal combustion engines. To begin with, the properties of hydrogen which makes it convenient to consider it as a fuel will be explained. After that, the hydrogen usage in engine types will be evaluated. To conclude, storage methods by liquefication and their effectiveness will be discussed.
