Voyex develops Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC) technology. With this technology, we bond hydrogen to a most safe and easy to use liquid that is similar to diesel in terms of handling and storage. Inside heavy-duty mobility, maritime or industrial applications, the hydrogen is released from the liquid and made available to power engines. The LOHC is developed to be circular and can be used hundreds of times to bond and release hydrogen.
Voyex LOHC is characterised by a 'safer-than-diesel' hazard level, due to a higher flashpoint and less toxicity profile, and efficient conversions through smart heat integration with hydrogen combustion engines. The combination of a high hydrogen storage content (62 kg H2/ton) and usage at atmospheric pressures and room temperatures overcomes major storage and distribution challenges associated with the cost and efficiency of conventional hydrogen storage and distribution methods.
With this new LOHC technology, we aim to provide a substitute for diesel fuel in applications used in industry, building and construction, marine and trucks. Next to using the LOHC as a fuel replacement to diesel, it is also perfectly suitable for medium-to-long transport of hydrogen and storage large quantities of hydrogen (import). Voyex's three core activities are synthesis of the LOHC substance from sustainable raw materials, developing technology to bond the hydrogen (hydrogenation) and releasing the hydrogen (de-hydrogenation). We develop our technology in-house in the Netherlands in our labs and offices in Delft. Our aim is to deliver a pilot-scale value chain in 2026, including several de-hydrogenation operational systems in the field, and achieve commercial roll out of all technology components in 2027+.
