Unlike traditional high-pressure or cryogenic storage, our e-LOHC™ (Electrically-Driven Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier) solution offers:
• Stable storage at room temperature and low processing pressure
• 99.999% pure hydrogen produced with no additional purification required
• Scalable hydrogen storage and distribution using existing fuel infrastructure
Our LOHC uses a carrier oil that can easily absorb and release hydrogen gas, similar to sponges, that soak up hydrogen. Through this innovative method, we can transport hydrogen safely and in large quantities without the need for high-pressure tanks or cryogenic conditions, reducing risks associated with hydrogen storage and transport.
Hydrogenation (H-Cell™): Hydrogen molecules are chemically bound onto the lean carrier liquid through an electrochemical reaction, creating a safe, energy-dense hydrogen storage medium. The hydrogen is stored and managed as a room temperature, room pressure liquid that can utilize existing oilfield infrastructure – tanks, trucks, rail cars, and pipelines.
Dehydrogenation (D-Cell™): When needed, hydrogen is released from the carrier liquid and delivered at fuel-cell-grade purity.
This enables the seamless integration of hydrogen into the energy supply chain, making it more accessible and practical than ever before.

Hydrogen stored in a non-toxic oil-based carrier fluid, regulated like diesel or gasoline, with negligible safety or environmental concerns.
Low CAPEX costs due to the low temperature and energy required for the storage and release process.
99.999% fuel cell grade hydrogen purity, no additional purification required. Hydrogen-type-agnostic storage system.
Competitive volumetric storage density of 55kg/m3 of LOHC.
Easy to store and suitable for transportation in existing tanks, trucks, and pipelines resulting in low CAPEX.
No self-discharge during storage. Suitable for long-duration hydrogen storage without losses.
Ayrton Energy has a diverse application that addresses operations, safety, and adoption. The alternative solutions are better suited for small-volume stationary storage and where ammonia is the end use.
