Catalysts for Storage of Hydrogen from Renewable Sources via Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carriers (LOHC)
EleMax® Series
Edition Date :
August 16, 2023
EleMax® catalysts are designed for storing hydrogen from renewable energy sources, such as wind or hydro power. They are used in an innovative technique developed by Clariant’s partner, Hydrogenious Technologies, to transport hydrogen by chemically binding the molecules to Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carriers (LOHC).
In the method, hydrogenation of the liquid organic hydrocarbon dibenzyltoluene via EleMax H “stores” hydrogen, while its dehydrogenation with EleMax D “releases” hydrogen on demand. This provides the handling flexibility required for widespread roll-out of hydrogen production from renewable power sources (Power-to-Gas, Power-to-X).
