We are proud to work alongside Covestro Deutschland AG, a leader in green hydrogen production. Covestro, which has been a shareholder in Hydrogenious LOHC Technologies since 2019, will provide green hydrogen for the facility, produced as a by-product from their own industrial processes. One focus of the project is to integrate the heat energy released during the LOHC hydrogenation process into the steam network and thus into the site’s energy supply. By utilizing this waste heat, we are able to enhance the overall efficiency of the LOHC cycle and lower the levelized cost of hydrogen. This highlights how seamlessly LOHC technology can integrate into existing industrial ecosystems, creating synergies that benefit both energy producers and offtakers.

Clean hydrogen supply for LOHC Link

In the future project Hector will be connectected to IPCEI Green Hydrogen @ Blue Danube to supply industrial offtakers in Southern Bavaria. This will create a comprehensive and resilient green hydrogen supply chain based on LOHC that serves as perfect blue print for enabling remote areas with no pipeline or port infrastructure with access to clean hydrogen. This unified, comprehensive green hydrogen supply chain project is called LOHC Link.

Our commitment to innovation extends beyond just technology. As part of project Hector, we are working closely with the Jülich Research Centre, which will lead the accompanying scientific research. This will focus on optimizing catalyst performance, ensuring the quality of both hydrogen and LOHC materials, and developing robust quality assurance processes for industrial-scale applications. By tackling these scientific challenges head-on, we are setting new standards for hydrogen storage systems globally
