HydroSil
)
This solution is called Hydrosil and offers great perspectives for green hydrogen transportation and hydrogen hubs, heavy duty on-board applications and strategic energy storage.
- Inputs: Utilization of renewable resources and sustainable materials, including green electricity, biomass-based reductants and abundant Quartz.
- Charge: H2 is grafted onto silicon derived molecules, forming a liquid hydrogen carrier in a CO₂-neutral, sustainable process that generates a valuable by-product.
- Storage & transport: Safe, non-toxic transport using existing infrastructure under normal pressure and temperature, storing 7x more H2 than compressed gas at 200 bars for unparalleled efficiency and flexibility.
- Release: H2 release through a water-activated reaction at 50 bars, requiring no energy input. Generating valuable micro silica by-product and heat up to 250°.
