I. Chiyoda’s Hydrogen Technology & Projects

Hydrogen Storage & Transportation Technology

• Chiyoda has established an efficient and large scale hydrogen storage and

transportation system.

• Methylcyclohexane (MCH), Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC), stays in liquid

state under ambient temperature and pressure anywhere.
