Methods of transporting hydrogen that include hydrocracking and dehydrogenation at separate hydrocarbon processing facilities

A method of transporting hydrogen, the method comprising:

• at a first hydrocarbon processing facility, hydrocracking a hydrocarbon feed in the presence of hydrogen gas to form a hydrocracked effluent, wherein the hydrocracked effluent has a greater ratio of hydrogen to carbon than the hydrocarbon feed;
• separating the hydrocracked effluent into at least a hydrogen recycle stream comprising hydrogen gas and a heavy hydrocarbon stream comprising C5+ hydrocarbons;
• transporting the heavy hydrocarbon stream from the first hydrocarbon processing facility to a second hydrocarbon processing facility, wherein the first hydrocarbon processing facility and the second hydrocarbon processing facility are at least 100 km apart from one another;
• at the second hydrocarbon processing facility, separating the heavy hydrocarbon stream into two or more hydrogenated hydrocarbon cuts;
• and
• at the second hydrocarbon processing facility, dehydrogenating one or more of the hydrogenated hydrocarbon cuts to form hydrogen gas and one or more dehydrogenated hydrocarbon cuts.
