Catalyst choice shapes hydrogen-carrier economics

A system-level assessment of dibenzyltoluene shows how hydrogenation catalysts influence reactor sizing, operating conditions and the cost of hydrogen storage and transport.

Comparison of levelised hydrogen-carrier energy costs for nickel, ruthenium and platinum catalysts under different heat-source scenarios.
