New Hydrogen Technology Plant Launched | Mirage News
WA company Carbon280 offers prospect of safe, scalable method of hydrogen transportation at atmospheric temperature and pressureHomegrown innovation has the potential to have significant impact on industry A safe, pumpable liquid used to transport hydrogenEnergy and Decarbonisation Minister Amber-Jade Sanderson has officially opened a pilot plant offering the prospect of a safe and scalable way to transport hydrogen.
The Hydrilyte Technology Pilot Plant is operated by Western Australian company Carbon280.
Its patented Hydrilyte Technology uses a metal hydride suspended in a light mineral oil with a process that locks the hydrogen in a solid state within the liquid.
The Hydrilyte and the hydrogen can be stored indefinitely without loss, with the process being reversed to unlock the hydrogen.
As a safe, pumpable liquid, the hydrogen-containing Hydrilyte can be stored and transported using existing liquid fuels infrastructure, including pipelines, tankers...
