Hydrogenious LOHC Technologies, German pioneer in the field of liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHC), has signed a contract with the Griesemann Gruppe for the Front End Engineering and Design (FEED) and the subsequent EPCM phase (Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management) for its Green Hydrogen @ Blue Danube project.
The scope of work includes engineering, procurement and construction services for the world’s largest LOHC release plant at the Bayernoil refinery in Vohburg, with a release capacity of up to five tons of RFNBO-certified hydrogen from LOHC per day.
Corresponding to 1,800 tons of green hydrogen per year, this can replace grey hydrogen produced from natural gas and thus save up to 16,000 tons of CO2 annually.
A potential expansion of the dehydrogenation plant could further contribute to a secure hydrogen supply and future decarbonisation of industries in the Danube region.
The FEED phase is planned to be completed in the second half of 2026 which will represent an important milestone to reach FID (Final Investment Decision) of the Green Hydrogen @ Blue Danube project.
Following a positive FID, the construction phase will begin on site. Start of commercial operations is planned for mid-2028.
First LOHC supply chain will secure hydrogen availability in Bavaria.
Hydrogenious' project “Hector” demonstrates the large-scale storage of RFNBO-certified hydrogen in LOHC with a storage plant at Chempark Dormagen, North Rhine-Westphalia.
The Green Hydrogen @ Blue Danube project will establish a corresponding release plant on the offtaker side.
