Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carriers (LOHC) allows efficient and safe storage of hydrogen while maintaining high volumetric energy density.

• Dehydrogenation/Hydrogenation catalyst development

• Dehydrogenation/Hydrogenation reactor design

• LOHC materials development

Ammonia has high gravimetric and volumetric hydrogen storage density, and it is able to extract high purity hydrogen with no CO2 emission.

• Decomposition catalyst development

• Dehydrogenation reactor design

Sodium borohydride (NaBH₄) reacts with water or moist air to produce hydrogen gas and a solid or aqueous by-product.

• Dehydrogenation catalyst development

• Efficient reactor design

• SBH Recycling

Though formic acid presents a moderate hydrogen storage capacity, it allows a low-temperature dehydrogenation and high-pressure hydrogen generation.  

• Dehydrogenation catalyst development

• System integration

Thermal decomposition of methane to form COx-free hydrogen and elemental carbon is an attractive alternative to the conventional steam-reforming process.
