A hydrogen reactor for the Jülich campus

Last week, the LOHC One Reactor, an important component for researching innovative technologies for the energy supply of the future, was delivered to the Jülich campus. This marks the creation of a novel facility for hydrogen storage at the research centre. It is scheduled to begin research operations in 2026.

The new LOHC One Reactor is designed to help solve a crucial efficiency problem: “Hydrogen can be chemically bound in the carrier fluid LOHC (liquid organic hydrogen carrier) and stored and transported in a space-saving and safe manner. However, a lot of heat energy is required to separate the valuable gas from the carrier fluid later on,” explains Dr. Michael Geißelbrecht from HI ERN, the branch of Forschungszentrum Jülich in Erlangen-Nuremberg. The hydrogen expert and his team want to use the LOHC One Reactor to investigate how this can be done more efficiently and demonstrate it in practice.
