The use of liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHC) is an alternative to transporting hydrogen without the need for pipeline infrastructure or hydrogen liquefaction. Instead, organic materials are hydrogenated at the hydrogen production source, transported to their destination, and dehydrogenated to release the hydrogen for use. The bulk transportation of organic liquids is commonplace, relatively low cost, and well established, thus simplifying the movement of hydrogen via LOHC. With the growing demand for green hydrogen to support decarbonization efforts worldwide, LOHC is emerging as a practical means of transporting hydrogen from production sites to consumption sites. This report provides an overview of LOHC technologies. The report also includes a technology readiness level (TRL) summary of LOHC options, carbon intensity analysis, and discussion related to the cost of transporting hydrogen for various LOHC types. Comparisons with other hydrogen transportation options such as liquefied hydrogen and ammonia are also presented.

This report assesses the conversion technology of renewable methanol to gasoline in terms of their technical, economic, and carbon intensity aspects, aligning with efforts of transitioning to more sustainable fuel to achieve net zero emission by 2050. Key production pathways covered at the cost of production level include gasoline derived from three renewable methanol sources (ie. biomethanol, MSW-based methanol and e-methanol). This report also presents a comparative analysis of the overall carbon intensity, considering scope 1 and scope 2 emissions in these production pathways.

Nuclear energy is increasingly seen as an option for low-carbon energy to replace fossil fuels and enable power-to-X manufacturing.  Small modular reactors now offer the possibility of matching process industry needs with lower investment levels than traditional power plants while offering better reliability than current intermittent renewables.This webinar will discuss the current state of small modular nuclear deployment and help attendees understand the value proposition that it brings to the process industries.  The content of this webinar is sourced from the report Small Modular Nuclear Reactors for the Chemical Industry.To listen to the presentation, please contact your Account Manager for the password.
