The Global energy transition hinges on hydrogen, but the inconsistent geographical distribution of renewable energy sources presents a major hurdle to the development of the hydrogen economy. Challenges persist in low-carbon hydrogen storage and transportation. Currently proposed methods like liquefaction and ammonia come with substantial costs and safety concerns, necessitating a disruptive solution. Enter the Honeywell Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC) Solution, a game-changing approach poised to revolutionize large-scale hydrogen transport.
Honeywell's LOHC technology stands out for its immediate readiness, leveraging existing petroleum infrastructure and decades of proven expertise in safe catalysts and technologies. Recent cost analyses indicate competitive pricing, with LOHC shipping costs comparable to ammonia, but with potential for the Honeywell LOHC solution to add further improvement through design enhancements, energy efficiency measures, and repurposing of existing refinery units.
The Middle East is ideally positioned to develop world-scale low-carbon hydrogen production facilities, thanks to its abundant solar and wind resources and well-established energy infrastructure. The region's strategic location also facilitates hydrogen export to both Europe and Asia. Leveraging its extensive experience in oil refining, the Middle East is well-suited to utilize LOHC for hydrogen transport, seamlessly integrating this new energy vector into its existing petroleum infrastructure.
This presentation will delve into the process and catalyst technologies powering the Honeywell LOHC solution, the compelling economic aspects, and the momentum behind its commercial adoption as seen in the recently announced projects.
