Japanese energy company ENEOS has plans to develop the world’s first commercial-scale liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC) project, enabling the long-distance transportation of clean hydrogen by leveraging existing refining assets and infrastructure.
ENEOS will use Honeywell's technology at multiple sites. Honeywell is an integrated operating company that creates healthier, more sustainable air travel with one of the industry’s broadest, most innovative offering portfolios spanning airport takeoff to landing, according to the company's website. The project supports Honeywell’s alignment of its portfolio to three compelling megatrends: automation, the future of aviation and energy transition.
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) — a convenient li
