Large-Scale H2 Storage and Transport with Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier Technology: Insights into Current Project Developments and the Future Outlook

The green hydrogen economy is evolving rapidly, accompanied by the need to establish trading routes on a global scale. Currently, several technologies arecompeting for a leadership role in future hydrogen value chains. Within thiscontext, liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC) technology represents an excellent solution for large-scale storage and safe transportation of hydrogen.This article presents LOHC technology, recent progress, as well as further potential of this technology with focus on benzyltoluene as the carrier material.Furthermore, this contribution offers an insight into previous and ongoingproject development activities led by Hydrogenious LOHC Technologies togetherwith an evaluation of the economic viability and an overview of the regulatory aspects of LOHC technology.
