Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carriers
Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carriers (LOHCs) are chemical compounds that can absorb and release hydrogen gas. They allow for the safe and efficient storage and transport of hydrogen, which is a clean energy source. LOHCs are typically stable at room temperature and can be easily handled, making them a practical option for hydrogen energy applications.
When hydrogen is needed, it can be released from the LOHC through a chemical reaction, often involving heat or a catalyst. This process allows for the use of hydrogen in various applications, including fuel cells and industrial processes, contributing to the development of a sustainable energy future.
