Eneos opens demo plant in Australia to produce MCH liquid organic hydrogen carrier

Green Car Congress

ENEOS Corporation has constructed a demonstration plant in Brisbane, Australia, to produce methylcyclohexane (MCH), a liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC), using its proprietary low-cost electrochemical synthesis of organic hydride method Direct MCH. Eneos’ Direct MCH uses an electrolyzer to produce MCH directly from water.

Australia Goes All-in on Green Hydrogen

Cars That Think

The carbon-free rigs will pack 50 kilos of hydrogen zapped from water using electricity from the refinery’s dedicated solar power plant. Welcome to Australia, where a green-hydrogen boom is in full swing. Phantom projects are not a problem confined to Australia. In 2021, Ark Energy took a stake in.

Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

Wind and solar parks produce a large portion of their energy. Then, as now, wind farms are operating off the world’s coasts—but not all of these offshore sites are connected to the mainland via underwater power cables. Some of the wind farms instead sit in clusters more than 100 kilometers out at sea.

HIF Global, Porsche and Volkswagen Group unveil new direct air capture unit to be installed at eFuels plant in Chile in 2024

Green Car Congress

The Haru Oni facility is currently operating with biogenic CO 2 and hydrogen produced with the strong winds of the Magallanes region. Water, a potential by-product, is drained off. This is the case when it is manufactured from wind energy, renewable generated CO 2 and hydrogen extracted from water.
