1 Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC) technology for large-scale hydrogen logistics Dr. Martin Schneider Head of Product Management Hannover Fair 2018, Hannover, Germany 24 th April 2018 HYDROGENIOUS TECHNOLOGIES GmbH Weidenweg Erlangen

2 Hydrogenious Technologies GmbH The Pioneer in Chemical Hydrogen Storage Key Partners: Founded in 2013 by Dr. Daniel Teichmann and Profs. Arlt, Schlücker and Wasserscheid; staff of 55; 27 patent families filed Global technology leader for Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carriers (LOHC) the revolution in hydrogen storage and transport Focus on commercialization of hydrogen storage and release systems for industrial and mobile applications Our LOHC hydrogen storage systems H 2 in StorageBOX hydrogen stored as an oil! ReleaseBOX H 2 out 1

3 Todays transport technologies are designed for industry handling only and are thus prohibitive for a public roll-out Compressed (CGH2) Cryogenic (LH2) or bar -253 C Low storage density High capex and maintenance costs Large safety zones Very high energy consumption Very high capex and maintenance costs Not suitable for longer-term storage Large safety zones 2

4 Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC) enable a safe and efficient transport of hydrogen at ambient conditions Hydrogenation Dibenzyltoluene (dehydrogenated) Dehydrogenation 9 H 2 9 H 2 Exothermic ca. 250 C bar Endothermic ca. 300 C 1-3 bara Perhydro Dibenzyltoluene (hydrogenated) 3

5 Our LOHC is hardly flammable and non-explosive We build systems to chemically bind hydrogen to a carrier liquid 4

6 Our LOHC technology has significant advantages in performance and handling compared to competing technologies 1,800 kg Our LOHC is Efficient 630 Nm 3 H 2 / m 3 LOHC 6.23 wt% 57 kg H 2 / m³ LOHC Safe Non-explosive Not classified as dangerous good (ADR, etc.) Easy to handle Diesel-like liquid Ambient conditions Low priced <5 /kg Reusable 5

7 Multi-modal hydrogen transport with LOHC improves economic and social viability of hydrogen roll-out significantly Large scale ship transport Medium scale rail transport Road transport LOHC transport by existing oil tanker fleet and fuel storage infrastructure International, transocean transport possible at minimal cost Multi-ton transport on existing cross-european infrastructure possible Possibility to significantly reduce on-land hydrogen transport cost Easy supply of train-hrs Strongly increased flexibility for hydrogen distribution by LOHC liquids High storage capacity at ambient conditions, leading to low costs Easy storage in underground tanks at HRS 6

8 Putting numbers into perspective a single oil tanker could fuel ~140 buses for over 2 years 7

9 The LOHC technology offers significant advantages for large-scale HRS e.g. for bus, train or captive fleet supply Advantages of LOHC Low delivery frequency to HRS Lowest cost for H 2 bulk storage No boil-off losses / discharge Safe handling Small footprint through underground storage Highest social acceptance through oil handling LOHC bulk storage (5,000+ kg H 2 ) LOHC+ ReleaseBOX Dehydrogenation H 2 Compression Pressure cascade Dispenser Standard HRS technology 8

10 Our systems: containerized and easy to install on-site 9

11 Hydrogenious and 11 partners focus on LOHC-based hydrogen refueling stations in Kopernikus research program The Kopernikus Projects form Germany s largest coordinated research program Funded by the German Ministry of Research > 90 companies and (research) institutes involved Four specific excellence clusters Decentral H 2 -logistics project with focus on LOHC based H 2 refueling stations Budget of ~4 Mio. EUR over next three years 12 partners involved including Linde, ThyssenKrupp, Clariant and AREVA 10

12 Hydrogenious has gathered a strong consortium for the first LOHC-based HRS project HYSTOC under EU funding Consortium partners Leading Scandinavian industrial gas company Specialist for gas purification units Leading scientific facility on LOHC research Research center focused on fuel cells and hydrogen technologies This project has received funding from the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen 2 Joint Undertaking under the European Union s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No

13 Commercial project: US market entry started with industrial demo project together with United Hydrogen Group LOHC technology expands current H 2 supply radius from 300 km to approx. 700 km United Hydrogen Group is a regional U.S. hydrogen distributor with >50 customers (Industry and mobility) Initial pilot systems contracted by UHG StorageBOX 100 (9.1 kg/h H 2 ) - Centralized H 2 production ReleaseBOX 33 (3 kg/h H 2 ) - Industry customers ReleaseBOX 2.5 (0.23 kg/h H 2 ) - Power Plants UHG demo-customers 12

14 China is on track to outpace developments in Europe and US with focus on hydrogen buses and trucks Hydrogenious Technologies closed partnership with Broad-Ocean Motors in December 2017 First LOHC-pilot Bus HRS in China to go into operations by beginning of 2019 Plans for a joint enabling of a hydrogen refueling infrastructure for bus and truck fleets 13
