The collaboration between Eneas, a Japanese oil company, and Honeywell Technology from the U.S. has introduced a groundbreaking solution for the long-distance transportation of hydrogen - the Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC). This innovation involves the hydrogenation of toluene into Methylcyclohexane (MCH), allowing hydrogen to be transported in liquid form over vast distances. Unlike traditional methods that required liquefying hydrogen and combining it with ammonia, the LOHC system enables safe storage and transportation using existing infrastructures like trains, ships, and trucks. The technology also simplifies the dehydrogenation process at the destination by re-absorbing the released heat, making it a more efficient and cost-effective solution for the industry. This advancement in hydrogen transportation is poised to revolutionize the energy sector, particularly in the automotive, aviation, and railway industries powered by hydrogen fuel cells. Ken West, the president and CEO of Honeywell Energy and Sustainability Solutions, highlighted that the LOHC system not only aids in decarbonization efforts but also fosters sustainable collaborations among international energy companies. The project draws on Honeywell's past experiences, including collaboration with Exolum for the transport and storage of organic blue energy in the U.K. The implementation of this system has already demonstrated successful results, allowing for the safe and environmentally friendly transportation of hydrogen on a global scale. With its room temperature operation and cost-effectiveness, the LOHC technology is set to play a significant role in transitioning towards greener, zero-carbon energy sources, marking a milestone in the industry's shift away from fossil fuels.
