Carbon280 is revolutionising hydrogen storage with Hydrilyte, a breakthrough technology that enables safe, efficient, and cost-effective hydrogen storage at atmospheric conditions. By eliminating the need for extreme compression or cryogenic cooling, Carbon280 is paving the way for a scalable and sustainable hydrogen economy.
Carbon280: Transforming Hydrogen Storage with Hydrilyte
Innovating for a Sustainable Future
Hydrogen plays a pivotal role in modern industry, with 98 million tonnes produced annually as a critical precursor in chemical processes. With increasing global demand, hydrogen is also emerging as a low-carbon alternative to natural gas in energy systems. However, a key challenge in the hydrogen supply chain is storage—existing methods require either extreme compression or cryogenic cooling, both of which are costly and inefficient.
Carbon280 is addressing this challenge through its groundbreaking technology, Hydrilyte. This innovative solution provides hydrogen users with low-cost, high-efficiency storage, purification, buffering, and transport services. Unlike conventional hydrogen storage methods, Hydrilyte allows for storage and transport at atmospheric temperature and pressure, enabling seamless integration into existing liquid fuel infrastructure.
Purpose, Vision, and Mission
Carbon280 is dedicated to developing cutting-edge technologies that contribute to a healthier planet. The company's vision is for Hydrilyte to achieve the lowest Levelised Cost for Storing Hydrogen, ensuring an affordable and scalable hydrogen economy. Its mission is to expedite the commercialisation of Hydrilyte, focusing on the fastest path to first revenues.
Revolutionary Hydrogen Storage Solution
Hydrilyte is a multi-patented hydrogen storage material that combines the advantages of metal hydrides with the flexibility of a liquid medium. The technology is based on a metal hydride powder suspended in oil, enabling the safe handling and storage of hydrogen at atmospheric conditions. This approach leverages the high storage density of metal hydrides while eliminating the risks associated with reactive metal exposure.
Key benefits of Hydrilyte include:
Safe Handling: Suspension in oil inerts the reactive metal hydride, ensuring stability during storage and transport.
Scalability: Utilises existing liquid fuel infrastructure, reducing the need for costly new storage solutions.
Efficiency: Enables low-cost hydrogen purification and buffering, making hydrogen more viable as a widespread energy carrier.
