Honeywell announced that ENEOS, a leading energy company in Japan, will develop the world\u2019s first commercial scale Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC) project using Honeywell\u2019s solution at multiple sites.<\/p>\n
“The LOHC solution enables the long-distance transportation of clean hydrogen and can help meet the growing requirements for hydrogen use across various industries by leveraging existing refining assets and infrastructure,” the company said in a statement.<\/p>\n
The project supports Honeywell\u2019s alignment of its portfolio to three compelling megatrends: automation, the future of aviation and energy transition, it added.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith more cost-effective long-distance transport, our Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier provides a method of more closely matching international supply and demand for hydrogen which enables hydrogen to play a critical role in the energy mix as we move toward lower-carbon economies,\u201d said Ken West, president and CEO of Honeywell Energy and Sustainability Solutions.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy providing solutions to help overcome the challenges of hydrogen transportation, Honeywell is supporting ENEOS in transitioning to a hydrogen-powered future.\u201d<\/p>\n
This is one of multiple hydrogen transportation projects on which Honeywell and ENEOS are collaborating. In the Honeywell LOHC solution, hydrogen gas is combined chemically through the Honeywell Toluene Hydrogenation process into methylcyclohexane (MCH) \u2013 a convenient liquid carrier \u2013 compatible with existing infrastructure. The hydrogen at these sites will be exported \u2013 in the same way as petrochemical products \u2013 to ENEOS in Japan in the form of MCH. Once at its destination, the hydrogen will be recovered using the Honeywell MCH Dehydrogenation process and released for use, while the toluene can be sent back for additional cycles.<\/p>\n
Hydrogen is expected to play a critical role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. At standard conditions, hydrogen is a flammable gas with low density and cannot be efficiently or easily transported. 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
