MIT-WPU researchers achieve breakthrough in hydrogen storage, reducing time to two hours.
MIT-WPU researchers have achieved a groundbreaking advancement in hydrogen storage technology, reducing the hydrogen loading time to just two hours, compared to the global benchmark of eighteen hours. Utilizing a Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC) system, which operates at lower pressures and temperatures, this method significantly improves safety and integration into existing fuel logistics. The potential applications extend to sectors like defense and energy, supporting India’s decarbonization strategy by enabling effective hydrogen transport from renewable energy sources. This innovation not only positions India as a leader in the evolving hydrogen sector but may also catalyze domestic manufacturing and job creation, aligning with initiatives like Make in India and the National Green Hydrogen Mission.
