Honeywell has partnered with ENEOS, a prominent energy company in Japan, to embark on a groundbreaking project to establish the first commercial-scale hydrogen supply chain in the country. The collaboration involves utilizing Honeywell UOP's methylcyclohexane (MCH) dehydrogenation process to develop various aspects of the hydrogen supply chain, including production, storage, transportation, distribution, and material recovery for recycling components involved in the process. ENEOS plans to integrate the MCH unit within its refineries, showcasing a commitment to advancing sustainable energy solutions. The initiative aims to enhance the commercial viability of hydrogen to meet the rising global energy requirements, especially focusing on regions with abundant renewable energy resources or established hydrogen infrastructure. Honeywell's innovative MCH dehydrogenation process enables the safe and efficient long-distance transport of hydrogen, facilitating the development of a sustainable energy ecosystem. Through the conversion of hydrogen gas into MCH using Honeywell's Toluene Hydrogenation process and subsequent transportation via ship or tanker, the project showcases a comprehensive approach to hydrogen supply chain management. By extracting hydrogen gas from MCH at the destination through Honeywell's MCH dehydrogenation process and recycling the remaining byproduct, toluene, the initiative emphasizes a circular economy approach. The partnership between Honeywell and ENEOS signifies a strategic collaboration to drive advancements in hydrogen transportation projects, building on previous announcements related to the development of commercial-scale LOHC projects. This initiative underlines the commitment of both companies to innovation, sustainability, and contributing to the global energy transition by providing actionable solutions and cutting-edge technologies in the energy sector.
