The Organic Hydride technology has been developed by Professor M. Ichikawa of Hokkaido University since 2000.

The Organic Hydrides are utilized as the efficient and high-dense materials for hydrogen storage, transportation and supply to fuel cell systems in hydrogen society.

The Organic Hydride technology has the following advantages over the conventional ones such as high pressures cylinders and liquid hydrogen systems.

1. Cheap liquid organic materials like gasoline and kerosine
2. High hydrogen capacity ( 6-8 wt.% )
3. The Organic Hydride are recyclable in safety and good handling
4. No emission of CO, CO2 or other by-products
5. Conventional infrastructures such as storage tanks, shipping tankers, tank lorries and train cargos are available for the long-term storage and long-distance transportation.
6. High-dense electricity storage and transportation of wind and solar powers.
