 Kokkola & Espoo/Finland, Erlangen/Germany. Despite the restrictions imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic, the HySTOC EU project initiated in January 2018 and located in Finland has reached important milestones in successful cooperation between its Finnish, Dutch and German partners: The Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier plant system from the German market leader Hydrogenious LOHC Technologies for the storage and release of hydrogen from the liquid carrier medium has started operation without any problems at local double-digit sub-zero temperatures. Now, the participating Finnish research institute VTT in Espoo is operating the hydrogen release plant and testing the quality of the re-released hydrogen over a minimum period of six months. The released hydrogen is planned to fulfil very strict purity demands in order to be applicable with fuel cell vehicles. Afterwards, there is nothing technically standing in the way of installing the so-called release box at its final destination, a public hydrogen refueling station.
