Benefits of the H2Nexus LOHC Process

• Commercially proven

• Chemically stable and nonflammable LOHC and H-Oil

• Low melting point (> -20 Celsius / -4 Fahrenheit)

• High boiling point (> 300 Celsius / 572 Fahrenheit)

Hydrogenation Technology

Our catalytic process efficiently hydrogenates the LOHC solution into an H-Oil that can be safely stored for long periods or transported over long distances in standard tanks without loss of hydrogen.

Excess heat from the exothermic process can be used on site. The hydrogenation equipment is suitable for small, distributed hydrogen production sites or can be scaled to support centralized hydrogen production facilities.

Dehydrogenation Technology

Our catalytic dehydrogenation and gas-liquid separation processes convert the H-Oil back into hydrogen gas and LOHC that is ready for immediate re-hydrogenation. The hydrogen gas purity is 99.989%, suitable for use in fuel cells, hydrogen combustion engines, hydrogen gas turbines, and other applications.

We require only a small footprint and, unlike other LOCH options, the dehydrogenation is completed at a lower temperature of 200 ℃ / 392 ℉, allowing for the use of waste heat from site operations in the dehydrogenation process.

• Simple yet highly reversible process

• High storage capacity at 5.15 wt.%

• High hydrogen purity at 99.989%

• Low temperature dehydrogenation using waste heat

LOHC Compound

Our proprietary LOHC compound is a cocktail of widely available chemical materials, which allows for safe and cost-effective transport and storage of hydrogen. It provides several advantages over Toluene and Dibenzyl Toluene-based LOHCs, particularly the ability to dehydrogenate at lower temperatures, allowing for the use of waste heat in the process.

The LOHC is a highly stable, environmentally friendly solution that can be hydrogenated and dehydrogenated repeatedly, showing only a minimal LOHC physical loss of .02% during the process.
