Hydrogen storage and distribution system

A method of distributing a gas, comprising:

• recording over time, via a first sensor suite, sensor data representing a first purity of said gas stored in a first storage facility at a first location as a first series of data;
• recording over time, via a second sensor suite, sensor data representing a second purity of said gas stored in a second storage facility at a second location as a second series of data, wherein said first purity and said second purity are not equal;
• communicating, via a communications gateway, the first and second series of data to a distribution system;
• receiving, via the distribution system, a request from a consumer party for a first quantity of said gas at a third purity, wherein the third purity is not equal to the first purity or the second purity;
• calculating, via the distribution system, a second quantity of said gas at the first purity and a third quantity of said gas at the second purity that when combined are equal to said first quantity at the third purity;
• routing, via the distribution system, a transportation vessel to the first storage location;
• transferring said second quantity of said gas at said first purity into said transportation vessel from said first storage facility;
• routing, via the distribution system, the transportation vessel from the first storage facility to the second storage facility;
• transferring said third quantity of said gas at said second purity into said transportation vessel from said second storage facility, thereby combining said second quantity and said third quantity of said gas in said transportation vessel;
• routing, via the distribution system, the transportation vessel from the second storage facility to the consumer;
• and
• delivering said first quantity of said gas at said third purity to the consumer.

• receiving, via the distribution system, a request from a consumer party for gas at a third purity, wherein the third purity is not equal to the first purity or the second purity;
• calculating, via the distribution system, from the first and second series of data, a volumetric or mass mixing ratio for combining said gas of said first purity with said gas of second purity so as to produce said gas at said third purity;
• mixing quantities of said gas from said first storage facility with said gas from said second storage facility according to said mixing ratio to produce a resultant mixed gas at said third purity;
• and
• distributing said distributing said resultant mixed gas at said third purity to the consumer party.
