Description The liquid organic hydride (LOH-H2) technology has gained significant attention for hydrogen transportation.
There are, however, open questions on LOH-H2 environmental performance due to the
presence of energy-intensive dehydrogenation and separation steps. Therefore, in this study, we have
conducted the life cycle assessment of LOH-H2 to quantify its total environmental footprint and
benchmark the results with conventional compressed hydrogen technology (G-H2). In the LCA model, we
have used the ReCiPe end point method and the IPCC 2013 global warming potential methods. Our results
suggest that the dehydrogenation-cum-separation stage in LOH-H2 contributes to the largest
environmental footprint and the dehydrogenation conversion should be maintained above 99% to gain
environmental advantage over G-H2. Through breakeven point analysis, we found that LOH-H2 could be
an environmentally favorable option when H2 is transported beyond 395 km, 365 km, 295, and 265 for
USA, Europe, China and India respectively.
