Project
Under Construction

Development of a semi-pilot membrane system to efficiently extract hydrogen from Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carriers (LOHCs) like methylcyclohexane (MCH). The system uses custom-built membranes and catalysts to extract hydrogen at low temperatures, making the process cheaper, safer, and more energy-efficient. The project aims to enable hydrogen export across shipping routes using existing fuel tanker
