澳大利亚制造的“绿色氢”,
液化进口日本示范实验
宣布执行。
未来,我们的目标是增加制造设备的规模,并在 2030 年之后实现商业化。

绿氢的清算:

利用太阳能,
电解水和甲苯,
它被制成一种叫做甲基环己烷(MCH)的液体。

运输液化氢的 MCH:

之后,液化氢的MCH被进口到日本。

在日本,我们成功地从 MCH 中提取氢气并运行 FCV。

在室温下运输 MCH:

要按原样携带氢气,必须将其冷却至 253 摄氏度,然后将其液化,然后使用特殊的船。两次

另一方面,MCH 可以在室温下运输。

油轮和储罐可原样使用,降低运输成本。

从 MCH 中提取氢气:

2019年,两家公司进行了从MCH中提取0.2公斤氢气的示范实验。

在这个实验中,我们将其增加到 6 公斤。

据说丰田的FCV“Mirai”的油箱可以加满。

据说是世界上第一款实用级交通工具。

这一次,通过采用可以直接将甲苯还原为MCH的新技术,设备成本降低了一半。

未来,我们将推动电解槽的大型化,降低商业化成本。

ENEOS, Chiyoda, and QUT Successfully Scaled Up an Australian CO2-Free Hydrogen Supply Chain Demonstration using Direct MCH®

~Filling a FCV with hydrogen derived from renewable energy~

ENEOS Corporation
Chiyoda Corporation
Queensland University of Technology (President: Margaret Sheil; “QUT”)

announced that they had succeeded in expanding the scale of their technological verifications of CO2- free hydrogen to a practical level for the first time in the world.

We commenced technical verifications of the production, transportation, and dehydrogenation of CO2-free hydrogen in 2018.

In order to store and transport hydrogen, it was previously necessary to store hydrogen produced via water electrolysis in a tank,

then convert it to methylcyclohexane (“MCH”), which is a type of organic hydride.

The technology developed by ENEOS
significantly simplifies this process,

by directly producing MCH from water and toluene through the electrochemical synthesis of organic hydride*2(Direct MCH® *3).

In March 2019,
ENEOS, Chiyoda and QUT

succeeded in directly producing MCH from water and toluene derived from Australian renewable energy,

transporting this MCH to Japan, and extracting hydrogen from it.

This was the first successful verification of such a technology in the world,

but produced only a lab- sized amount of MCH containing 0.2 kilograms of hydrogen.

We have expanded the scale of MCH produced to a practical level so that it contains approximately 6 kilograms of hydrogen;

they have also extracted hydrogen from this MCH in Japan, and actually used the hydrogen to fill and drive a fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV).

For the reasons listed below, the technologies of ours used in this technological verification are superior to other technologies for a transportable hydrogen supply chain.

QUT Concentrated Photovoltaic Power Generation System

A power generation system that captures sunlight by gathering solar irradiation with a Fresnel lens and adjusting the orientation of solar panels according to the position of the sun; compared to fixed-array solar panels, the system generates a much higher amount of electricity per unit surface area.

ENEOS Direct MCH®

A high-efficiency electrolysis process that converts toluene directly into MCH, without first converting it into hydrogen;

it is capable of reducing facility costs for MCH production by approximately 50%*4 compared to the conventional process to produce MCH.

Chiyoda Dehydrogenation technologies

Using independently developed catalysts and dehydrogenation reactors, the technologies generate extremely high hydrogen yields from MCH.

In anticipation of a hydrogen-oriented society, ENEOS intends to further increase production volumes
