LOHC technology in maritime hydrogen transport - the environmental perspective
As a partner in the SAFeCRAFT project, the Institute of Water Chemistry is providing expertise in the environmental impact assessment of Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carriers (LOHC) for maritime hydrogen transport. The safety assessment of chemicals and the development of less harmful alternatives has been at the core of our activities for many years, particularly in the area of hydrogen storage using LOHC technology. We are very pleased to be able to put our expertise to use in a real-world application.
The SAFeCRAFT project supports the transition to the widespread use of sustainable alternative fuels in maritime transport to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in this sector while protecting the marine environment.
