Imagine if you could store summer in a bottle – not the heat, but the energy!
This is exactly the idea behind Hashtag#LOHC. (an oil that acts as a storage medium for hydrogen)
Perhaps you remember our last update on the LOHC?
📌 Here it is 👉 https://lnkd.in/euXh_Y4y
But let’s take a look at the heart of the engine today.
While many hydrogen projects rely on fuel cells (FC), we use a robust, cost-efficient solution:
❗A modified combustion engine that places lower purity requirements on the hydrogen❗
In concrete terms, this means
✅ less processing of the hydrogen compared to FC,
✅ lower costs than FC
✅ …and the possibility of reusing existing engine technologies!
So we want to…
🔹 Not only recover hydrogen from LOHC,…
🔹 …but also use an H₂ combustion engine as an alternative to the fuel cell.
❓Where are we now❓
The system is largely complete, the integration of the components and the pipework are currently underway – the next steps are the control system, sensors and final tests.
This means that renewable energy could soon be reliably usable even in dark doldrums.
