Hydrogen Storage and Transportation: The Role of LOHC Technology in a Sustainable Energy Future

4 October 2024 4 October 2024

As the world transitions to cleaner energy, hydrogen is a promising alternative to fossil fuels. However, storing and transporting hydrogen is challenging due to its low density and the extreme conditions needed to keep it in liquid form. Traditional methods require high-pressure compression or cryogenic temperatures, which are costly and energy-intensive. LOHC technology (Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carriers) offers a solution by allowing hydrogen to be stored and transported safely at ambient temperatures and pressures. This innovation could revolutionize industries like shipping, heavy manufacturing, and transportation by making hydrogen more accessible and cost-effective, contributing to a sustainable energy future.
