Meet Ankit Singh, Chemical Process Engineer at Voyex. Ankit has been a major contributor to Voyex02, our pilot de-hydrogenation system. This prototype is built to show how Voyex LOHC can be integrated into heavy duty applications. The de-hydrogenation system supplies hydrogen directly to an internal combustion engine which converts it into electricity. We will first use it to power a generator, later on we aim to integrate the technology directly into machinery, ships and many other applications. As you can see, we store the LOHC easily and safely in straightforward 'IBC' tanks at atmospheric pressure and ambient temperatures. We can do this because the liquid is not toxic and has a high flashpoint. Anticipating customer requirements, the Voyex LOHC molecule has been specifically selected for its low release temperature of hydrogen. The energy (heat) present within the exhaust of an internal combustion engine is sufficient to reach hydrogen release. As a result, only a small energy buffer is required for starting the engine, after which the release of hydrogen is fully supported through energy in the exhaust of the engine.

Planning for your inevitable zero-emission future tends to be a daunting task. Many of the available options are not yet fully developed and therefore come with a range of uncertainties and risks. One of the variables that will affect the competitiveness of your future business is energy efficiency.  At the current state, a Well 2 Wheel efficiency of 20-25% is obtained in the hydrogen supply chain.  𝗩𝗼𝘆𝗲𝘅 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 𝗵𝗼𝘄𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿, 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲 𝟯𝟱-𝟰𝟬% 𝗪𝟮𝗪 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆.  The greatest efficiency win is the relatively low temperature required for de-hydrogenation (getting the hydrogen out of the LOHC). As a result, Voyex LOHC can be used as a replacement for diesel fuel by using a hydrogen combustion engine (mostly converted diesel engines).   The energy (heat) present in the exhaust gases of the ICE is sufficient to decouple the hydrogen from the carrier fluid (at a relative low temperature of 200-220 degrees centigrade). Therefore, using the hydrogen as fuel is a great option for greening heavy duty diesel applications. The raw materials for the Voyex LOHC can be derived from recycled plastic and residual flows of biomass which harvests and retains carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and also reduces the energy required for production.  Read more about how Voyex LOHC optimizes for energy efficiency here: https://lnkd.in/eSqkvaRf This is part three of our series 'things to consider when planning for your zero-emission future'.

Meet Paola Arango Ponton, PhD, Chemical Research Scientist at Voyex. On a daily basis, Paola is optimizing the chemistry of the Voyex LOHC production process. The raw materials for the Voyex LOHC can be derived from recycled plastic and residual flows of biomass. Paola is making the production process as clean and efficient as possible by minimizing waste, and thereby also pushes down the costs and (already minimal) carbon footprint of our LOHC. In this video, Paola is moving the continuous synthesis installation into our new lab space, where multiple liters of LOHC are produced each day. This expansion signifies a new step on our growth path. In parallel, we are preparing our Voyex 2 installation, a de-hydrogenation unit with an output of 30-80 kW. This pilot unit is expected to be available by the end of 2024/ Q1 2025. Stay tuned for updates on our progress! #hydrogen #H2 #ZeroEmissionFuture

We know that in many ways, diesel is great. It's easy to handle, has a high energy content and it's relatively safe. We all grew up with diesel all around us. Now think about the extensive infrastructure on which diesel relies to be brought to you, practically everywhere you are. Without this infrastructure, diesel wouldn't be so attractive. Any viable alternative for diesel will have to build on an equally extensive infrastructure, and therefore only a very limited amount of solutions will make it to the zero-emission era. The ultimate strength of Voyex LOHC is the many favourable characteristics that come into play across the supply chain. Among others, it is safer than diesel, can be stored at room temperature and atmospheric pressure AND has a high energy content. One advantage of Voyex LOHC is that it allows partners across the LOHC supply chain to reuse their existing (diesel) assets, making the transition as easy and cost-effective as it can possibly get. This is one of many reasons that we insist that Voyex LOHC will be among the winners that make (it to) the zero-emission era.

Meet Marco de Visser, Chemical Process Engineer at Voyex. At Voyex, we are continuously optimizing our technology to increase the efficiency and performance of our processes and products and to drive down costs. In this video, you'll see Marco as he replaces the catalyst to make the hydrogenation process more efficient. 

Ready to get really inspired? In this (Dutch) audio fragment, starting at around 56 min until 65 min in, which was recorded at Recharge Earth by #OptimistRadio, co-founder of Voyex Fabian Benschop explains in the clearest words possible how Voyex LOHC ticks all the boxes that make a winning zero-emission fuel of the future. If Tuesday's article was a little too heavy on the technicalities, please take a few minutes to listen to this fragment! https://lnkd.in/enWCrNAn

Planning for your inevitable zero-emission future tends to be a daunting task. Many of the available options are not yet fully developed and therefore come with a range of uncertainties and risks. Still, you can’t afford to delay preparations for your transition much longer. Deadlines for regulations are closing in and you need to anticipate now in order to sustain your competitive advantage. We hear you. in the coming weeks, we are publishing a series of articles to help you navigate and compare the many aspects that will affect the competitiveness of your future business and make an informed decision based on the many aspects that influence the cost drivers of your operations.  Here is number 1: Energy efficiency https://lnkd.in/e8cVbvZQ

Voyex congratulates DEUTZ AG with this great and inspiring news. Their first hydrogen internal combustion genset of 220 KW ( H2-ICE genset) of a series of 100 which is now introduced to the market is paving the way for hydrogen-based combustion engines in heavy-duty applications such as trucks, inland shipping and gensets. Voyex wholehartfully wishes DEUTZ AG all the best with their endeavours with respect to their H2-ICE and genset developments. We are also excited to see further developments of the very promising Hycet project with BMW and IAV looking at Trucks and the DEUTZ AG H2-ICE. Voyex's game changing LOHC can be an enabler in this H2-ICE stage in the near future to safely, simply and affordably get the hydrogen on board of trucks, ships and genset sites.

In our quest to offer zero-emission power solutions for heavy-duty applications, the maritime sector is where we can make the biggest impact. The requirements of viability for power solutions in this industry are legion but so are the environmental gains. It was therefore our pleasure to contribute to the episode ‘Ocean Smoke’ about zero-emission shipping on Dutch National television NPO2. See a snippet of our lab about 15 minutes in.
