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

Green Car Congress

ENEOS has worked to scale up electrolyzers using Direct MCH technology in order to mass-produce MCH derived from renewable energy (Green MCH). If these performances are improved, a large amount of MCH can be produced in a small-sized electrolyzer, eventually leading to reduced equipment cost and lower hydrogen costs.
