Thorbjørn Hareide, business development manager at Hydrogenious LOHC Maritime, will hold a presentation on LOHC technology at the Electric & Hybrid Marine World Expo in Amsterdam. The title and topic are as follows:
Liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHC) are organic compounds that can absorb and release hydrogen through chemical reactions. These compounds serve as storage media for hydrogen. LOHC technology therefore adds a new way of handling hydrogen on board ships. Instead of using compressed or liquid hydrogen, hydrogen is chemically bound to a carrier oil. This oil can be used to store and transport large amounts of hydrogen safely within existing fossil fuel infrastructure. With our ongoing projects we aim to develop a commercial LOHC power system that can utilize hydrogen as a power source on board ships in the safest way possible.
