Hydrogen storage

Hydrogenious commissions Griesemann Group with planning for LOHC release plant 

-

Hydrogenious LOHC Technologies has commissioned the Griesemann Group with the planning and construction of what it claims to be the world's largest plant for releasing hydrogen from Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC). The plant is expected to provide up to five tonnes of green hydrogen per day in Vohburg from 2028.

The new LOHC plant is to be built in the Chempark of Dormagen, Germany.

LOHC could simplify H2 imports

-

Many of the technologies for H2 transport are not yet fully developed. Researchers and industry are working to develop safe H2 distribution over long distances, also because Germany will be dependent on H2 imports on a large scale. In addition to ammonia, liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHC) have a good chance of being employed in projects and industry. Because they could use the conventional infrastructure of oil tanks and tankers.

LOHCs as a promising alternative?

-

A startup from Erlangen, Germany is advancing the development of a liquid organic hydrogen carrier. With various corporations like Bilfinger und Schaeffler, the technology company is trying to make the innovative solution for green hydrogen more economical worldwide. At the end of 2023, the largest storage and release plant thus far is to appear in Chempark Dormagen, near Cologne. It should be able to produce and store 1,800 tonnes of hydrogen annually. Demand is widely abundant.
