Problem
Heavy-duty transportation such as trucks, ships, and trains relies on cheap, energy‑dense liquid fuels like diesel, making it difficult to reduce carbon emissions while maintaining cost and performance.
Solution
Lnkenergies supplies liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs), stable liquid oils that chemically store hydrogen. Their MIT‑patented Hydrogen Release Unit (HRU) extracts hydrogen from the LOHC safely and efficiently, enabling the fuel to be used in existing diesel engines and infrastructure. The LOHC is non‑flammable and compatible with current storage, handling, and distribution systems, allowing a drop‑in replacement for diesel without extensive retrofitting. By delivering hydrogen power in a liquid form, the solution provides a low‑cost, low‑emission alternative for heavy‑duty vehicles, supporting a practical pathway toward decarbonizing transportation.
Target Audience
Primary customers are operators and fleet managers of heavy‑duty trucks, maritime shipping companies, and rail transport providers seeking affordable, low‑emission fuel solutions.
