HyCS\u00ae-Technology: simple and effective<\/h2>\n

Reduction and Oxidation<\/h4>\n

At its core, HyCS\u00ae technology consists of the reduction and oxidation of iron (Fe): During storage loading, the iron oxide is reduced by the added hydrogen. Steam is released and can be used again in electrolysis. During discharge, steam is fed at the point of use, which can also come from the exhaust gas of a regeneration unit. This oxidizes the Fe and H\u2082 is provided.<\/p>\n

First commercial units available<\/h4>\n

Our compact hydrogen storage technology (HyCS\u00ae) has been demonstrated and proven since early 2022. The first commercial units will be available as 20-foot standard containers from 2026. Solutions for large-scale applications will be developed as required.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Highest storage density<\/h4>\n

The HyCS\u00ae process principle offers numerous advantages compared to conventional H\u2082 storage. The graph shows: More than 2 kWh of hydrogen can be stored in one litre of HyCS\u00ae storage. This is about 2.5 to 5 times as much as in a pressure vessel (700\/350 bar). And twice as much as can be stored with liquid hydrogen, in metal hydrides or similar approaches (LOHC). This makes the HyCS\u00ae storage system the most compact of all energy storage systems \u2013 of course also significantly more compact than Li-ion batteries (factor 10).
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Best efficiency<\/h4>\n

Smart integration, especially with steam driven electrolysis (SOEC) and SOFC fuel cells, results in long-term power storage efficiencies of up to 100% higher than with alternative systems. HyCS\u00ae technology thus reduces H\u2082 generation and storage costs.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Reduced transport costs<\/h4>\n

HyCS\u00ae technology means:
\n\u2022 Halving the space requirement for H\u2082 storage
\n\u2022 2 x as much H\u2082\/truck as in bundles of bottles
\n\u2022 Reduction of H\u2082 generation and storage costs
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Lower CAPEX<\/h4>\n

For larger storage systems, HyCS\u00ae already offers cost advantages. Due to the currently high costs of the reversible SOFC, HyCS\u00ae storage units are currently more expensive than electric batteries with a storage capacity of <1 MWhel. Currently, HyCS\u00ae storage systems are competitive by the help of investment subsidies, in the medium term they will be by raising cost-cutting potentials.\t\t<\/p>\n
