Keywords

💡Hydrogen Carrier

A hydrogen carrier is a substance that can store and transport hydrogen in a stable form. In the video, the term refers to liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHC), specifically methyl cyclohexane (MCH). MCH can bind and release hydrogen through hydrogenation and dehydrogenation processes, allowing for safe and efficient long-distance transportation of hydrogen. The video presents LOHC/MCH as a 'convenient and demonstrated way to move hydrogen over long distances.'

💡Dehydrogenation

Dehydrogenation is the process of removing hydrogen from a hydrogen carrier, such as MCH. In the video, dehydrogenation is described as a crucial step in recovering hydrogen from the LOHC at the destination. The presenter mentions that Chota uses a 'proprietary catalyst' for dehydrogenation, which provides 'high conversion, high selectivity, and long-term stability.' The recovered hydrogen can then be used for various applications, like fueling fuel cell vehicles or generating electricity.

💡Global Supply Chain

The global supply chain refers to the transportation and distribution network for hydrogen across different regions or continents. The video emphasizes the importance of a global supply chain, as hydrogen production is often located remotely from where it needs to be used. It presents the LOHC technology as a solution for enabling a 'global hydrogen supply chain,' with examples like transporting MCH from Brunei to Japan via ocean-going carriers.

💡Hydrogenation

Hydrogenation is the process of binding hydrogen to a carrier molecule, such as toluene (in the case of LOHC/MCH). The video explains that toluene is hydrogenated to form MCH, which can then be transported to the destination. The hydrogenation process is described as exothermic, meaning it releases energy. The video highlights that the overall process, including hydrogenation, transportation, and dehydrogenation, has an estimated efficiency of around 60%.

💡Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs)

Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs) are vehicles that use hydrogen fuel cells to generate electricity, which powers an electric motor. The video mentions FCEVs as one of the potential applications for the hydrogen recovered from the LOHC system. Specifically, it states that the 210 metric tons of hydrogen transported during the demonstration project 'would have been enough hydrogen to fill up about 40,000 Toyota Mirai fuel cell cars.'

💡Demonstration Project

The demonstration project refers to the real-world implementation and testing of the LOHC technology for transporting hydrogen over long distances. The video describes two demonstration projects: 1) In 2020, MCH was produced in Brunei, shipped to Japan in ISO containers, dehydrogenated, and the recovered hydrogen was used in a gas turbine. 2) In 2022, MCH was transported from Brunei to Japan in an ocean-going chemical tanker and used commercially at an oil refinery.

💡Toluene (Tyne)

Toluene, also referred to as 'tyne' in the video, is an aromatic hydrocarbon compound found in the BTX stream of a catalytic reformer in refineries. The video explains that toluene is the starting point for producing the LOHC carrier MCH through a hydrogenation process. After dehydrogenation at the destination, the resulting toluene is then 'returned to the point where hydrogen is produced for eventual reprocessing back into MCH.'

💡Hydrogen Hub

A hydrogen hub is a central facility or location for receiving, storing, and distributing hydrogen from various sources. The video mentions the concept of a 'hydrogen port delivery hub' with large-scale storage capabilities. It provides an example of a potential project in Rotterdam, where LOHC would be imported, dehydrogenated, and the recovered hydrogen would be distributed to users in Northwestern Europe from the hub.

💡Business Development

Business development refers to the strategic efforts and activities aimed at promoting and commercializing a product or technology. The video dedicates a section to discussing Chota's current business development activities related to the LOHC technology, such as evaluating potential projects in various regions (South America, Australia, Japan, Germany, Scotland, and the Netherlands) and progressing the engineering for a local dehydrogenation and refueling station in Singapore.

💡Decentralized Dehydrogenation

Decentralized dehydrogenation refers to the process of recovering hydrogen from the LOHC at smaller, distributed facilities closer to the end-users. The video mentions the concept of 'decentralized facilities for local dehydrogenation and distribution' to supply hydrogen for applications like mobility (cars, trucks, forklifts). This contrasts with a centralized model where dehydrogenation occurs at a single large facility or hub.

Highlights

Chota is an established player in the Global Engineering and construction business, with a technology Development Division pursuing innovative processes for improved conversion efficiency, product improvement, renewable clean energy projects.

The focus of the talk is on liquid organic hydrogen carrier (lohc), a convenient and demonstrated way to move hydrogen over long distances, where hydrogen is bound with a liquid organic molecule like methyl cyclohexane (MCH).

The lohc technology, called Spira, involves converting toluene to MCH using hydrogen, transporting MCH, and then dehydrogenating MCH back to toluene and hydrogen at the destination, using a proprietary catalyst.

The overall process efficiency of Spira is estimated around 60%, competitive with ammonia and generally somewhat superior to liquid hydrogen for long-distance hydrogen transport.

In 2020, an industrial-scale demonstration project successfully transported 210 metric tons of hydrogen as MCH from Brunei to Japan, enough to fill about 40,000 Toyota Mirai fuel cell cars.

In 2022, a further demonstration involved transporting MCH in an ocean-going chemical tanker from Brunei to Japan for commercial use at the Eneos oil refinery.

Current business development activities include evaluating global supply chain projects, hydrogen port delivery hubs with large-scale storage, and decentralized dehydrogenation facilities for local distribution.

A project under consideration involves importing hydrogen via lohc to the Port of Rotterdam and distributing it as a hub to various countries in Northwestern Europe, with a capacity of up to 400,000 annual metric tons by 2030.

Engineering is progressing on a project in Singapore featuring local MCH dehydrogenation, a refueling system, and a hydrogen dispenser for fuel cell vehicles and port machinery.

Chota has entered into a cooperative agreement with Axens, a French process catalyst and technology licensing firm, to provide one-stop shopping for hydrogen transport options, combining their respective hydrogenation and dehydrogenation technologies.

The presentation highlights that for hydrogen transportation, several lohc options can likely coexist in the marketplace, depending on project particulars and material issues.

The MCH option for hydrogen transport has been demonstrated as safe, reliable, and commercially available today, utilizing existing and fungible assets.

The presentation aims to introduce the Spira technology, a proven and commercially available method that can be applied to the transport of hydrogen via a global supply chain.

Chota has a presence in the United States and has operated a wholly-owned subsidiary called Chota International Corporation in Houston, Texas, for over 50 years.

Toluene, a common refinery aromatic found in the BTX stream of a catalytic reformer, is the starting point for the Spira technology, where it is converted to MCH using hydrogen.

Transcripts

so welcome to Washington very nice of

them to stay open for us this week I was

kind of worried about what was going to

happen if they weren't um my name is

Robert Schneider I come from the process

retained by uh Chota international

corporation as a senior technology

adviser uh today my aim is to introduce

you to a technology we call Spira this

focuses on a proven and commercially

available technology that can be applied

Global Supply

Chain

okay I'd like to start off with uh just

a very brief presentation on you know

who the company is won't spend much time

on that uh again a little bit about spir

uh describe the commercialization of the

technology uh provide maybe some insight

into current Business Development

activities in industrial application

projects that we're now

pursuing so who are we Chota is an

established player in the Global

Engineering and construction business

mean s technology Development Division

which pursues Innovative processes for

improved conversion efficiency product

Improvement renewable clean energy

projects that are in harmony with our

world and our environment company got

its start after World War II rebuilding

Refinery and Associated infrastructure

in its Home Market of Japan eventually

this led to branching out into various

EPC projects chemicals petrochemicals

liquefied natural

gas today toota provides engineering

solutions for both conventional and

established Industries as well as

emerging ones such as battery power

storage and hydrogen Supply

infrastructure Cha's headquarters are

located in Yokohama Japan the company

has a presence in the United States and

has had one for over 50 years currently

operating out of a wholly owned

subsidiary called Chota inter National

Corporation and that office is located

in Houston

Texas so the focus of my talk today is

liquid organic hydrogen carrier we call

it lohc for short it's a convenient and

demonstrated way to move hydrogen over

long distances uh this is frequently

important consideration since hydrogen

production is frequently located at a

site remotely located from where you

want to use it uh in

lohc hydrogen is bound with liquid

organic molecule in the case of AR

Spirit technology this molecule is

methyl cyclohexane which Hereafter I

will refer to as

MCH the journey starts with tiine uh

common Refinery aromatic which is found

in the btx Stream of a catalytic

reformer in most refineries if they have

such a unit each molecule of toine

contains three double bonds uh in the

aromatic ring and thus can be

hydrogenated to one molecule Ule of MCH

using three molecules of hydrogen MCH

can be transported over both long and

short distances and then can be

dehydrogenated back to uine and three

moles of hydrogen as shown on this slide

MCH has a mole weight of about 98 a

density 3/4 of the density of water

boils at about the same temperature 101°

Centigrade given the physical properties

of MCH it can be easily transported as a

chemical at ambient temperatures and

pressures of course hydrogen can be

transp transported as a pure liquid as a

compressed gas in the event that this is

desirable um but it can also most

conveniently be transported using

chemical carriers as shown in this slide

and these carriers include such options

as ammonia MCH and there are other

chemical options as well all of these

carriers have been studied at Great

length and depending upon the specifics

of Any Given application each will have

its own pluses and minuses to be

considered as I've already mentioned

chota's use of tyin uh for conversion to

methyl cycle hexane or MCH as we refer

to it is known by the name spir MCH is

transported by whatever means deemed

most appropriate from the point of

production to the point of hydrogen use

and at this point hydrogen is recovered

from MCH by a process known as

dehydrogenation at this point we make

use of a proprietary Catalyst and this

proprietary Catalyst provides for high

conversion High selectivity and

long-term

stability the tuine which emanates from

the dehydrogenation facility is then

returned to the point where hydrogen is

produced for eventual reprocessing back

into MCH thus this is a circular carrier

options to move MCH and tiine include

oceangoing tankers barg es tanker trucks

Rail lines and to the extent that they

exist

pipelines looking at the process from an

overall perspective we can consider the

energy content of the hydrogen to be

transported hydrogenation conversion

energy required enery any energy

recovered from the hydrogenation

exotherm because it is an exothermic

reaction energy used to transport both

MCH and taline and the energy required

for dehydrogenation which is an

endothermic reaction accordingly and in

consideration of these factors and the

energy content of the recovered hydrogen

we estimate an overall process

efficiency of around 60% and while this

might seem low efficiency calculations

always depend on where you choose the

boundaries uh for your analysis and what

assumptions you make future technology

current technology lohc and ammonia are

usually competitive with one another and

according to several studies generally

somewhat Superior to liquid hydrogen all

things being

considered chart's a little busy I'll

just uh touch on the high points we

compare lohc hydrogen with ammonia and

liquid hydrogen loc can be moved in

ambient conditions uh while both ammonia

and liquid hydrogen are cogenic liquids

so they must be handled accordingly with

MCH hydrogen content is roughly 1500th

of the equivalent volume of gasius

hydrogen in the case of ammonia the

compression ratio is even greater and

the hydrogen contained volume is

1300th of that in an equivalent volume

of hydrogen gas hydrogen via MCH can be

provided at a purity of over

99.8% but for fcev applications we'd

need to clean it up a little bit more

required Fu cell fuel cell Purity would

be arrived at after treatment by PSA for

example in the case of ammonia use as a

fuel requires no further treatment but

but for hydrogen recovery applications

ammonia cracking and subsequent

purifications would be required there's

no question ammonia cracking is possible

however there are no large scale ammonia

cracking facilities in commercial

operation at this

time in one study the total cost to

supply hydrogen from South America to

the port of rodam compared various

hydrogen carriers such as ammonia MCH

methanol Benzel Tyne and liquid

hydrogen the shipping cost are shown is

the dark blue bar sort of in the middle

of the of the stack

charts and the shipping cost is actually

overwhelmed by other costs such as

hydrogen production utility storage and

other various supply chain

costs thus we can conclude that as shown

here Transportation costs are not a

significant barrier to the supply of

hydrogen moving from one site to

another

so now we're going to turn our attention

to Industrial demonstration and

commercialization of the spir

technology in 2020 after having

successfully proven the viability of

Spear and chota's Yokohama development

pilot facilities an industrial scale

project was undertaken to commercially

demonstrate spir a hydrogenation plant

was erected at an existing production

site in brunai where hydrogen production

was already in operation MCH was

produced and shipped out to Japan by

oceangoing carrier but in ISO containers

for reference the one-way distance uh

from brunai to the port of Tokyo is

about 5,000 kilometers so 3,000 miles at

the Japanese Port the MCH was offloaded

sent to a newly constructed

dehydrogenation facility at the toea oil

refinery here hydrogen was recovered as

a purified gas was ultimately used as a

supplemental fuel to a gas turbine

electric power generator could have been

used anywhere but that that was a

convenient place to use it over the

course of the one-year demonstration

program some 210 metric tons of hydrogen

were successfully moved from berai to

Japan this amount of hydrogen though

used for electric power production as I

said it could have been used in in

numerous other applications and just for

a point of reference this would have

been enough hydrogen to fill up about

40,000 Toyota Mar fuel cell

cars this diagram shows the overall path

of the demo project from one site to

another to recap the demo project

hydrogen moved from one plant shown in

the upper left as MCH in ISO containers

that were then loaded onto an Oceano

ship when the MCH arrived in Kawasaki it

was dehydrogenated using our proprietary

Catalyst for use at the to refinery in a

gas turbine the real purpose of this

demonstration was to show the viability

of spir as applied to a global hydrogen

supply chain while the end product was

El electric power again it could have

been used for almost any purpose

imaginable next assuming our technology

cooperates okay I want to show you a

very brief uh video on The Spar

demonstration

project we are committed to delivering

hydrogen energy to the world to

contribute to the prevention of global

warming and CO2 emission reduction Spa

hydrogen has been developed with such

ambitions

with the reaction of toine SP hydrogen

can be produced it is handled at ambient

temperature and pressure enabling a

large scale and safe storage

transportation of hydrogen the world's

first Global hydrogen supply chain

connecting brunai duras salum and Japan

has been realized 2020 construction of

the hydrogenation plant in brunai

Jerusalem started in April 2018 18 and

the plant became operational in

2020 first Hydrogen is produced from

natural gas processed at the brunai LG

plant and then converted to MCH a liquid

compound called SP hydrogen Spa hydrogen

is transported and shipped under ambient

conditions by existing ISO containers

using a commercial containers vessel

it's sent to the dehydrogenation plant

in TOA oils kin Refinery located in the

Kawasaki Coastal area in Japan this

project shows the reality of global

hydrogen supply chain practically

demonstrating the whole process from

production and overseas transportation

to the utilization of hydrogen based on

its success the next challenge will be

to develop a commercial business that

will bring hydrogen into demand and to

connect global syst sustainable energy

resources via SP hydrogen supply chain

Network our efforts will continue to

bring us closer to achieve a carbon-free

hydrogen-based

society

okay a further demonstration of spirit

VI viability was undertaken in 2022

where MCH was transported this time not

in ISO containers but in an Oceano

chemical tanker so this is you know

scaling up and this sailed from berai to

Japan different port this time in the

case in this case the Final Destination

was the Enos oil refinery where the MCH

was uh was used

commercially let me turn now just for a

brief minute to some of the current

Business Development related

activities uh on this slide we talk

about a global supply chain a hydrogen

Port delivery Hub in large scale storage

are depicted uh the MCH can be sent to

Short or long-term storage or it can be

dehydrogenated locally at a receiving

terminal uh other sources of hydrogen

could include renewable hydrogen

generation or power to gas facilities uh

MCH can alternatively be sent to a

decentralized facility for local

dehydrogenation and distribution to

users for Mobility material movement

applications such as cars fcev trucks uh

forklifts

Etc looking at the global picture

several persp respective projects are

now being evaluated and pursued where

the hydrogen Supply is remote from the

point of use such as Manufacturing in

South America or Australia and then MCH

transportation to Japan Germany Scotland

or the

Netherlands lastly Chota and its

partners are progressing the engineering

of an MCH uh based uh project with local

dehydrogenation whoops I went too far

let me go back here think I missed

something

yeah sorry this is uh this is theou with

the port of Rotterdam importation of

hydrogen via lohc and a Distribution Hub

in Northwestern Europe This would then

Supply hydrogen to various countries uh

in Europe and capaity is up to about

400,000 annual metric tons by 2030 or

now under

consideration uh this project is uh this

lhts project is being looked at the ship

hydrogen from Scotland to

Rotterdam uh the partners on this SL

envisioned production of hydrogen in

Scotland then local conversion to MCH

the liquid MCH would be transported by

Oceano carrier to Rotterdam hydrogen and

there be recovered at the Port uh and

then distributed from The Hub to users

in Northwestern Europe and we have

Personnel in the Netherlands right now

supporting this initiative which is

under active

Pursuit uh this is the one I started

talking about prematurely uh with

Partners we're progressing the

engineering of a local dehydrogenation

refueling in station in Singapore so

this is a distributed uh hydrogen Supply

the site will feature MCH storage

Compact and modular dehydrogenation

plant refueling system and a sheltered

hydrogen dispenser the locally recovered

hydrogen will be sent to an adjacent

adjacent refueling station and at this

station refueling will be available for

fcv trucks or other Port material

movement uh

Machinery like to just uh mention very

quickly before I close uh we have a

Cooperative agreement we've recently

entered into with axin which is the

well-known French process Catalyst and

Technology licensing firm uh this

marketing delivery collaboration is

meant to provide One-Stop shopping for

clients seeking hydrogen transport

options what ACC brings to the table uh

is dehydrogenation technology sorry

hydrogenation technology and licenser

experience uh while toota will provide

the proprietary and proven

dehydrogenation Catalyst along with

engineering procurement and construction

expert expertise so quick summary in

reality we fully expect that for

hydrogen Transportation you know being

pragmatic several loc's can and will

probably coexist in the marketplace

depending on Project particulars and

other material issues we've demonstrated

that MCH option is safe it's reliable as

a carrier mechanism and that this

technology can be reliably applied to a

large extent using existing and fungible

assets this technology is proven and

it's commercially available

today uh that brings me to the end of my

presentation the clock just went to zero

so I don't have time for questions if

you want to catch me in the hallway uh

I'll try to answer I think I've stayed

within the allotted time I'd like to

thank the organizers for inviting us I'd

like to thank you for your time and

attention

thanks
