HONEYWELL TECHNOLOGY TO POWER THE WORLD'S FIRST COMMERCIAL SCALE LIQUID ORGANIC HYDROGEN CARRIER PROJECT
CHARLOTTE, N.C., Feb. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Honeywell today announced that ENEOS, a leading energy company in Japan, will develop the world's first commercial scale Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC) project using Honeywell's solution at multiple sites.
- The project supports Honeywell's alignment of its portfolio to three compelling megatrends: automation, the future of aviation and energy transition.
- "By providing solutions to help overcome the challenges of hydrogen transportation, Honeywell is supporting ENEOS in transitioning to a hydrogen-powered future."
- In the Honeywell LOHC solution, hydrogen gas is combined chemically through the Honeywell Toluene Hydrogenation process into methylcyclohexane (MCH) – a convenient liquid carrier – compatible with existing infrastructure.
- Current solutions available for transporting hydrogen include liquifying the hydrogen and using chemical carriers such as ammonia, each of which requires additional infrastructure to produce and transport hydrogen.
