Background

Hydrogen is a gas with a good energy density by weight and with no CO2 emissionbut today, its production, storage and transport are very expensive, dangerous anddifficult.

We’ve developed a breakthrough process of Catalytic Hydrogen Production from asilane derivative: these materials are a new safe way to store and to releasehydrogen in very soft condition.

Benefits

Instantaneous H2 production: it is directly available, its gaseous storage is not required anymore

Room temperature and atmospheric pressure conditions

Recyclable and eco-friendly

High performance:

  • Hydrogen Purity >99.99%
  • Gravimetric Capacity ≥6.9 wt. %
  • Volumetric Capacity 68g/L

In 2050, hydrogen will represent 20% of coverage energy needs of the planet, the present production of hydrogen should be multiplied by 20: 1135 million tons/year

Status of HYMED compared to other current technologies

Development status

  • Proof of concept on lab-scale prototype
  • Cartridge type prototype is under conception and realisation
  • Silane production is under study

Applications

  • Portable applications (power): cellphones, computers
  • Transport applications: hydrogen internal combustion engine vehicles, fuel cells vehicles, hybrid vehicles
  • Industries: petrochemical, ammonia…
  • Aerospace, Military
  • Stationary applications: “gas” station, engine-generator
