<aside> 💡 In the transition to clean energy, the storage and transport of hydrogen still present significant challenges. Hydrogenious LOHC Technologies （headquartered in Germany, founded in 2013） is tackling this challenge through its Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC) technology. Their technology is said to enable the handling of hydrogen 'like oil' at ambient temperatures and pressures, enabling the reuse of existing liquid fuel infrastructure while also enhancing safety and flexibility.
This LOHC solution is expected to play a significant role at various stages of the hydrogen value chain, including hydrogen producers, hydrogen hubs, and end-users. The 'Hector' project, currently under construction at CHEMPARK Dormagen in Germany, aims to become the world's largest facility for storing green hydrogen using LOHC technology. Having obtained official approval as a commercial plant, it marks a significant step towards large-scale implementation. Furthermore, 'Hector' is reported to be collaborating with the 'Green Hydrogen @ Blue Danube' project, Central Europe's first LOHC hub, with the goal to form a comprehensive LOHC value chain at an industrial scale.
These large-scale projects indicate that LOHC technology is transitioning from a mere research and development phase to a viable solution for industrial needs. Additionally, LOHC technology could help meet the binding quotas for green hydrogen in the transport sector stipulated by RED III (Renewable Energy Directive III), and could accelerate the widespread adoption of clean hydrogen in Germany.
By leveraging existing infrastructure and improving hydrogen safety, efficiency, and flexibility, Hydrogenious LOHC Technologies holds the potential to drive the commercialization and scaling of the hydrogen ecosystem. It is expected to fill the 'missing link' necessary for a clean hydrogen world.
