Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier Applications

Hydrogen has long been thought of as the fuel of the future however there has always been difficulty in understanding how to handle due to its boiling point being -253�C meaning it consumes a lot of energy to transport.� It is possible to make hydrogen easy to transport through the use of Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carriers (LOHC) utilizing Benzene, Dibenzyltoulene (DBT), Napthalene, Toluene or a derivative to absorb the molecules into their structure.� Hydrogen is hydrogenated with a base carrier to handle it and then dehydrated to extract the gas. Hydrogenious technology requires 25 bar pressures, and heat at 200�C � 250�C and thus is quite an energy intensive to produce and extract yet safe to handle.
