How it works
*Not the exact molecule in use, but a representation of the chemistry
Ayrton’s LOHC uses a carrier oil that can easily absorb and release hydrogen gas, like 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.
When bound to the carrier oil 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. This enables the seamless integration of hydrogen into the energy supply chain, making it more accessible and practical than ever before.
