A breakthrough in large-scale storage of hydrogen under ambient conditions.
We are a key technology in the hydrogen supply chain, delivering what was once considered impossible: simple, safe, scalable, low-cost hydrogen storage at ambient temperature and pressure. The cost and technical complexity of storing and transporting hydrogen has been a major contributor to hydrogen projects failing to reach FID. So we created a new way.
ABOUT CARBON 280
Carbon280 is a materials science and engineering company. Our science team is encouraged to research and experiment widely and to fast-fail ideas. Our engineering team is focused on developing products that are safe for people and the environment; enable a low carbon future; and that are built for real industrial applications from day one.


OUR TECHNOLOGY
A new approach to hydrogen storage
Our starting point was that if hydrogen production is to grow five fold by 2050, as McKinsey is predicting, it must be at least as simple to handle as fossil fuels and that it should be comparatively safer for people and the environment. Hydrilyte® is so different from other approaches to hydrogen storage that it is in its own category as a liquid, metal hydride. Based on globally abundant magnesium, Hydrilyte® will not be subject to the geopolitical risks associated with rare-earth metals or indeed the platinum group catalysts that the Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC) and ammonia crackers depend on.
