Hydrogenious LOHC has achieved a significant milestone towards designing, building and operating the world's largest hydrogenation plant for the safe and efficient storage of hydrogen at Chempark Dormagen in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.
Project Hector has now received the official building and operating permit for the storage plant.
The documents for the permit application were submitted to the competent authority, the District Government of Cologne, at the end of May 2023 and have since successfully passed all necessary review steps, including public display and hearing.
The building and operating permit of this first-of-its-kind LOHC storage plant constitutes a major achievement.
Hydrogenious LOHC’s innovative technology is considered mature and proven by the authorities, ready for implementation and operation on an industrial scale.
Dr Andreas Lehmann, chief executive officer of Hydrogenious LOHC Technologies, said: "The official approval of the storage plant is a significant achievement for our team and partners.
“It demonstrates the viability of our LOHC technology on an industrial scale and marks an important step forward in our mission to advance the hydrogen economy. We are grateful for the support of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and our partners and look forward to the progress of this groundbreaking project."
