O mercado de gás natural enfrentou vários desafios durante seu primeiro ano de abertura, com pressões internas e externas afetando preços e motivando alguns consumidores a postergarem sua migração para o mercado livre. Essa situação criou novos desafios e possibilidades para o gás e o GNL no Brasil.

Hydrogen gas is diffuse, making transportation out of pipelines impractical. This poses a particular barrier to trans-oceanic hydrogen trade, where the race is on between competing technologies, each aiming to be the ‘carrier’ of choice in the hydrogen economy. All the candidates are liquid: hydrogen, ammonia and Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carriers (LOHCs).

Leading LOHC experts Osamu Ikeda  of Chiyoda Corporation  and Dr Andreas Lehmann of Hydrogenious  join Tim Hard of Argus to discuss use cases, future projects and parts of their value chain being targeted to enhance efficiencies for transportation of hydrogen.

Listen to Argus’ experts Louise Burke, Alfonso Berrocal and Giulia Squadrin, as they look back at 2022 and discuss the developments of the SAF market in Europe and the Americas and share their expectations for 2023.
