Vopak announces hydrogen shipping venture - SAFETY4SEA - Safety4Sea

Vopak and Hydrogenious LOHC Technologies volition incorporated an adjacent shared associated venture, named LOHC Logistix, for hydrogen storage, transport and proviso based connected Hydrogenious’ Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC) technology.

The LOHC pioneer from Germany uses the thermal lipid benzyl toluene arsenic liquid integrated hydrogen bearer (LOHC-BT), which is already well-established successful the manufacture arsenic a vigor transportation mean and has perfect properties for harmless handling successful ports.

Due to its characteristics arsenic a occurrence retardant and non-explosive bearer with a precocious volumetric vigor density, benzyl toluene tin beryllium handled similar a fossil liquid substance wrong existing infrastructure, tankers and vehicles astatine ambient unit and temperature, making it a earthy acceptable with existent larboard infrastructure and fleet of vessels, railcars, and vessel trucks. After the merchandise of hydrogen (dehydrogenation), the LOHC tin beryllium reused to hindrance hydrogen galore hundreds of times.

The associated task LOHC Logistix GmbH located successful Germany volition enactment some parties to facilitate their efforts to proviso greenish hydrogen to off-takers, utilizing LOHC based proscription via ship, train, tanker, etc.

The incorporation of the associated task is taxable to customary closing conditions. For proscription and supply, it volition acquisition hydrogenation arsenic good arsenic dehydrogenation services from/at the respective LOHC works operating companies and signifier transport.

Moreover, the 2 partners committed themselves to accelerate the constitution of the LOHC retention works planned astatine Chempark Dormagen (Germany/North-Rhine Westphalia), for which the kick-off has been fixed successful 2021, arsenic good arsenic a merchandise works successful Rotterdam with a merchandise capableness of 1.5 tonnes of hydrogen per day. The volition of some parties is to accelerate the standard up.

With the build-up of LOHC plants successful Chempark Dormagen and Rotterdam we volition found a greenish hydrogen proviso concatenation that we spot arsenic a blueprint for a aboriginal adjacent much broad web crossed Europe and the Middle East and beyond
