Chiyoda have been continuing the technology development employing liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC) as large-scale storage and transportation technology for hydrogen since 2002. Chiyoda succeeded the development of the dehydrogenation catalyst through the fundamental research for around ten years. After completing the establishment of the system technology through a pilot plant demonstration in 2014, Chiyoda has been preparing to participate in a project by NEDO to demonstrate an international hydrogen supply chain in large-scale, and in 2020, the project was successfully completed between Brunei Darussalam in Southeast Asia and the Kawasaki waterfront area in Japan for 5,000 km. “SPERA Hydrogen®” System has been shift to commercialization phase due to completion of the International Hydrogen Supply Chain Demonstration including whole process. This paper introduces outline and the features of the SPERA hydrogen system, and the international hydrogen supply chain demonstration funded by NEDO.
