Germany develops LOHC supply chain
Recently opened hydrogen filling station on the Siemens campus in Erlangen receives green hydrogen in LOHC form
German developer Hydrogenious LOHC Technologies has put in place the world’s first liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC) supply chain, the company says.
