Hero photoassets/photos/hero.jpgThrough LOHC technology, hydrogen travels, is stored as a liquid at ambient conditions and with our patented Dynamic Hydrogen Releaser© (DHR) can be used safely — on today's existing fuel infrastructure.
Handled like diesel, using existing tanks, trucks and pumps.
Safe to store and transport — no high pressure, no cryogenics.
Stored at room temperature and atmospheric pressure.
The DHR releases hydrogen exactly when and where it's needed.
Production is scaling fast. But every conventional way of moving and storing hydrogen is expensive, energy-hungry, or unsafe.
| Technology | Pressure / Temp | Energy penalty | Safety | Infrastructure |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Compressed gas | 350–700 bar · ambient | ~15% compression | High — explosion risk | Dedicated tubes & trailers |
| Liquid hydrogen | 1 bar · –253°C | ~30–40% liquefaction | High — boil-off & cryo burns | Cryogenic tankers only |
| Ammonia | 10 bar ambient / 1 bar –33°C | ~20–30% cracking | High — toxic & corrosive | Dedicated chemical infra |
| LOHC + DHR (DBT) | 1 bar · ambient | ~10–15% dehydrogenation | Low — non-toxic liquid | Existing diesel infrastructure ✓ |
LOHC is the only technology that operates at ambient conditions and leverages existing fuel logistics infrastructure.
Our patented DHR extracts hydrogen from the LOHC carrier on demand and adapts automatically to the requested downstream H₂ flow — in seconds, ramping both up and down.
The patented DHR can adapt automatically to the requested H₂ downstream in terms of seconds:

Dynamic Hydrogen Releaser (DHR)™ is a patented technology © Lohcate S.r.l. — Patent granted in Italy, extended internationally (PCT).
Green, blue or grey hydrogen from any source.
H₂ is bound into the LOHC — a stable, non-toxic liquid.
Moved like diesel at 1 bar, ambient temperature.
The DHR extracts hydrogen on demand, on site or on board.
Clean H₂ delivered to the fuel cell or engine.
DHR captures value across the entire hydrogen logistics chain — wherever diesel-like handling and on-demand H₂ matter most.
1,000+ stations planned globally. Diesel-like handling in existing tanks.
75K+ fuel-cell trucks expected (USA). DHR on board, H₂ on demand.
Ammonia too toxic for crews. LOHC safe in standard bunkers.
Replaces diesel on rural lines. DHR on locomotive, H₂ when needed.
And logistics is the unlock.
