Hydrogenious LOHC Technologies and Johannes Østensjø dy have formed the joint venture business Hydrogenious LOHC Maritime. The goal is to develop and sell emission-free liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC)-based shipping applications by 2025, with a commercial product ready for operation. The emphasis is on megawatt-scale on-board LOHC/fuel cell propulsion systems. This will be a particularly safe technique because the hydrogen will be bound to the LOHC. Furthermore, Hydrogenious’ Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier is applicable to traditional bunkering facilities both onboard and at ports. The Norwegian Ministry of Climate and Environment’s financing agency Enova stated that it will contribute NOK 26…
