‘Liquid organic hydrides’ (such as Methylcyclohexane, generally called Organic hydrides in Japan) are in liquid form under atmospheric temperature and pressure which are able to be hydrogenated and dehydrogenated by a thermochemical process, thus allowing the storage holding high hydrogen content, carriage utilizing present oil related infrastructures (container tanks, storage tanks, filling stations) with little or no modification and production of hydrogen ‘on demand’ for fuel cell vehicles or stationary fuel cells at the point of use. The uniqueness of our mobile hydrogenation equipment is to be able to store fluctuating green hydrogen derived from renewable energy in conjunction with water electrolysis, and available to scale up its size as refinery equipment. Dehydrogenation is endothermic reaction, so our dehydrogenation reactor is designed with consideration of efficient heat transfer utilizing threefold alumite cylinders heated by oxidation reaction with a drop of Toluene (residue of dehydrogenation).
