About the solution
Transport hydrogen as easily as diesel
An practical solution for the hydrogen supply chain using a proprietary liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC) and electrochemistry.
Traditional hydrogen storage relies on high-pressure tanks and cryogenic cooling, making it expensive and difficult to scale. Our e-LOHC™ technology safely stores hydrogen as a liquid at ambient conditions, allowing it to be transported like diesel, using existing fuel infrastructure.
Our technology seamlessly integrates with hydrogen producers, transporters, and end-users—enabling cost-effective hydrogen delivery at scale.
The e-LOHC™ System
Our LOHC uses a carrier oil that can easily absorb and release hydrogen gas, similar to sponges, that soak up hydrogen. Through this innovative method, we can transport hydrogen safely and in large quantities without the need for high-pressure tanks or cryogenic conditions, reducing risks associated with hydrogen storage and transport.
Hydrogenation (H-Cell™): Hydrogen molecules are chemically bound onto the lean carrier liquid through an electrochemical reaction, creating a safe, energy-dense hydrogen storage medium. The hydrogen is stored and managed as a room temperature, room pressure liquid that can utilize existing oilfield infrastructure – tanks, trucks, rail cars, and pipelines.
Dehydrogenation (D-Cell™): When needed, hydrogen is released from the carrier liquid and delivered at fuel-cell-grade purity.
This enables the seamless integration of hydrogen into the energy supply chain, making it more accessible and practical than ever before.
