Liquid organic H₂ carriers for H₂ logistics

Hydrogen (H₂) is the energy vector of the future. Although it can be used in many industrial sectors, its current solutions for storage and transportation are hazardous and inefficient. Hydrogenious GmbH have developed an alternative technology for H₂ storage and transportation–liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC) technology. H₂ is chemically bonded to a stable carrier liquid. Thus, H₂ loses its explosive character and can be stored and transported in the well-known and already existing oil infrastructures. Hydrogenious claims that LOHC is the key to a viable H₂ society.

Localot

Localot wrote: Localot provides an infrastructure to connect local retailers with customers in their city. This connection is achieved through a combination of an online shop with a "last-mile" delivery system based on bicycles. On our platform, customers can learn about, compare and buy their needed goods from their local shop. Through our routing system, a bike rider fetches the ordered products picked by the retailer and delivers them within a short time period. In this process, waste is avoided through a pawn system which is based on reusable packaging (e. G. Aluminium boxes). Therefore, our customers can enjoy their locally provided and emission-freely delivered products without having to stress about going shopping for themselves... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon
