Liquid organic hydrogen

storage system design

Liquid organic hydrogen storage ( LOHS ) has a number of advantages over other energy storage and transport systems . We have the capability to design optimal LOHS systems using a ‘ synergistic catalysis concept ’ to select carrier molecule mixtures , hydrogenation and dehydrogenation catalysts .

Competitive Advantage

• Patented catalyst technology
• Intersection of computational materials design , labbased materials development , and industrial-scale materials systems testing
• Supported by globally-significant computational resources

Impact

• More efficient and effective energy storage

Successful Applications

• Pilot plant at the Canberra Hydrogen Refuelling Facility in Fyshwick

Capabilities and Facilities

• Access to national supercomputing resources and state-of-the-art quantum chemistry software

Our Collaborators

• Global Power Generation Australia
• Hydrogenia
• Evoenergy
• Illuminact
• Australian National University
