Hydrogenious LOHC Technologies GmbH
Hydrogenious LOHC Technologies GmbH develops and commercializes technology for safe, efficient hydrogen storage and transport using Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC) solutions.
About
Hydrogenious LOHC Technologies GmbH is a global leader in hydrogen storage and transportation using its patented Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC) technology. The company enables safe, efficient, and scalable storage and transport of hydrogen by chemically bonding it to a non-toxic, non-flammable oil (benzyltoluene). This allows hydrogen to be managed, stored, and distributed using existing liquid fuel infrastructure, overcoming major challenges with conventional hydrogen logistics. Hydrogenious LOHC serves industrial and mobility sectors worldwide, supporting the energy transition to a climate-neutral economy, and is engaged in flagship projects, joint ventures, and significant collaborations across Europe and beyond.
