Consortium moves ahead with HESC pilot for conversion of Australian coal to LH2 for transport to Japan

Green Car Congress

The Hydrogen Energy Supply Chain ( HESC ) project will convert brown coal from the AGL Loy Yang mine into hydrogen at an adjacent site and then transport the gas by road in high pressure tube trailers to a liquefaction terminal at the Port of Hastings. The liquefied hydrogen will then be unloaded at a specially designed base in Kobe, Japan.
