Technology to transport H2 using iron oxide
The water steam produced when charging the storage system can be easily condensed to water and then fed back to the electrolysis process for H2 production. This reduces water consumption by 40%, which in turn reduces H2 production costs by up to 30%. In a stationary application - where H2 is stored and re-used on site - a closed water loop is created with a water-saving potential of up to 90%.
Reduced water consumption is particularly beneficial in arid regions, both in terms of the water supply for the population, agriculture and businesses as well as for the ecosystem.
When loaded, the storage units contain iron only, no H2 can escape. That’s why they do not require any special infrastructure or additional safety measures, but can be installed in standard 20' containers. This means that there is no need for time-consuming and expensive construction work, for example in harbours, or refitting of ships. The storage systems can be transported and handled using standard transport logistics (crane, ship, truck, train), and these means are available, technically mature and cost-efficient.
