Global initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in mobility and industry increase across the globe and given its physio-chemical attributes, hydrogen produced out of renewable energies will need to become a core vector of the global energy system. However, hydrogen transport and storage with today’s standard technologies (i.e. compressed or liquefied/cryogenic hydrogen) have significant shortfalls regarding costs, easiness to handle and safety and are thus prohibitive for the global roll-out of a renewable hydrogen society.
Hydrogenious’ LOHC technology tackles these issues be offering a revolutionary new hydrogen storage and transport technology based on a reversible catalytic hydrogenation / dehydrogenation process. The technology offers the ability to store large amounts of hydrogen in low volumes (up to 57kg/m³) and at atmospheric conditions. Hydrogenious is a global pioneer in the field of these LOHC technologies and design, build and distributes the required hydrogenation and dehydrogenation systems.
As hydrogenation of aromatic compounds such as the carrier used by Hydrogenious is a well-known process in chemical industry and furthermore, Hydrogenious has closed high-quality partnerships for the development of large scale hydrogenation plants (e.g. with MAN), the focus of this project lies on the development of commercially viable dehydrogenation systems (product name: ReleaseBOX). The objective of the project is to develop and test a modular system structure, which allows Hydrogenious to offer systems in line with its customer requirements, especially in the field of hydrogen refuelling stations and industrial hydrogen consumption. In parallel to the technical developments, Hydrogenious very pro-actively works on market and business development by means of conference and trade fair participation as well as development of customer specific case studies.
