Hyundai CRADLE aim towards sustainable hydrogen distribution together with Hydrogenious LOHC Technologies

The distribution and transportation of hydrogen in large quantities is currently one of the biggest challenges Hyundai Motor Group is working on. Their Hyundai CRADLE office has partnered up with German startup, Hydrogenious LOHC Technologies, to work towards a sustainable, safe and cost-efficient transportation solution for hydrogen. LOHC technology allows hydrogen to be stored without pressure, using a carrier oil. This makes hydrogen as easy and efficient to transport as conventional liquid fuels and will enable distribution at the global scale both sustainably, and at a low cost. Currently, the teams are exploring opportunities for collaboration, which could include using their technology as a hydrogen logistic solution in Korea and Germany, leveraging on their frontier research activities with, for example, Jülich Forschungszentrum, or venturing into completely new fields of applications for LOHC.
