Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC) technology for large-scale hydrogen logistics

Hydrogenious Technologies GmbH The Pioneer in Chemical Hydrogen Storage

• Founded in 2013 by Dr. Daniel Teichmann and Profs. Arlt, Schlücker and Wasserscheid; staff of 55; 27 patent families filed

• Global technology leader for Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carriers (LOHC) – the revolution in hydrogen storage and transport

• Focus on commercialization of hydrogen storage and release systems for industrial and mobile applications

Our LOHC hydrogen storage systems

hydrogen stored as an oil!

Todays transport technologies are designed for industry handling only and are thus prohibitive for a public roll-out

160 – 500 bar -253°C

or

Compressed (CGH2) Cryogenic (LH2)

• Low storage density

• High capex and maintenance costs

• Large safety zones

• Very high energy consumption

• Very high capex and maintenance costs

• Not suitable for longer-term storage

• Large safety zones

Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC) enable a safe and efficient transport of hydrogen at ambient conditions

Dehydrogenation

Endothermic – ca. 300°C 1 - 3 bara

Hydrogenation

Exothermic – ca. 250°C 25 - 50 bar

Dibenzyltoluene (dehydrogenated)

9 H2 9 H2

Perhydro – Dibenzyltoluene (hydrogenated)

Our LOHC is hardly flammable and non-explosive

4

We build systems to chemically bind hydrogen to a carrier liquid

Our LOHC technology has significant advantages in performance and handling compared to competing technologies

5

Easy to handle Diesel-like liquid Ambient conditions

Low priced <5 €/kg Reusable

Our LOHC is… Efficient

630 Nm3 H2 / m3 LOHC 6.23 wt% 57 kg H2 / m³ LOHC

Safe Non-explosive Not classified as dangerous good (ADR, etc.)

1,800 kg

Multi-modal hydrogen transport with LOHC improves economic and social viability of hydrogen roll-out significantly

Large scale ship transport

Medium scale rail transport Road transport

• LOHC transport by existing oil tanker fleet and fuel storage infrastructure

• International, trans-ocean transport possible at minimal cost

• Multi-ton transport on existing cross-European infrastructure possible

• Possibility to significantly reduce on-land hydrogen transport cost

• Easy supply of train-HRS

• Strongly increased flexibility for hydrogen distribution by LOHC liquids

• High storage capacity at ambient conditions, leading to low costs

• Easy storage in underground tanks at HRS

Putting numbers into perspective – a single oil tanker could fuel ~140 buses for over 2 years

H2 LOHC+

Advantages of LOHC

The LOHC technology offers significant advantages for large-scale HRS – e.g. for bus, train or captive fleet supply

8

Compression Pressure cascade Dispenser Dehydrogenation

Standard HRS technology

LOHC bulk storage (5,000+ kg H2)

ReleaseBOX

Low delivery frequency to HRS Lowest cost for H2 bulk storage No boil-off losses / discharge Safe handling Small footprint through underground storage Highest social acceptance through oil handling

Our systems: containerized and easy to install on-site

The “Kopernikus Projects” form Germany’s largest coordinated research program

Funded by the German Ministry of Research > 90 companies and (research) institutes involved Four specific excellence clusters

“Decentral H2-logistics” project with focus on LOHC based H2 refueling stations

Budget of ~4 Mio. EUR over next three years 12 partners involved including Linde, ThyssenKrupp, Clariant and AREVA

Hydrogenious and 11 partners focus on LOHC-based hydrogen refueling stations in Kopernikus research program

Hydrogenious has gathered a strong consortium for the first LOHC-based HRS project HYSTOC under EU funding

11

Leading Scandinavian industrial gas company

Specialist for gas purification units

Leading scientific facility on LOHC research

Research center focused on fuel cells and hydrogen technologies

Consortium partners

This project has received funding from the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen 2 Joint Undertaking under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 779694

LOHC technology expands current H2 supply radius from

300 km to approx. 700 km

Commercial project: US market entry started with industrial demo project together with United Hydrogen Group

12

United Hydrogen Group is a regional U.S. hydrogen distributor with >50 customers (Industry and mobility)

Initial pilot systems contracted by UHG

• StorageBOX 100 (9.1 kg/h H2) - Centralized H2 production

• ReleaseBOX 33 (3 kg/h H2) - Industry customers • ReleaseBOX 2.5 (0.23 kg/h H2) - Power Plants

UHG demo-customers

China is on track to outpace developments in Europe and US with focus on hydrogen buses and trucks

13

• Hydrogenious Technologies closed partnership with Broad-Ocean Motors in December 2017

• First LOHC-pilot Bus HRS in China to go into operations by beginning of 2019

• Plans for a joint enabling of a hydrogen refueling infrastructure for bus and truck fleets
