HydroSil is a breakthrough liquid carrier that enables energy-free hydrogen release while producing high-performance, low-carbon silica.
HSL Technologies has conceived the first carrier to transport and store hydrogen & silica at ambient temperature and pressure in liquid state with a non-organic basis.
We develop a solution called HydroSil, grafting hydrogen onto silica to store and transport them, then releasing high quality products under ambient conditions.
This solution offers great perspectives for green hydrogen hubs, heavy industries’ decarbonization and many other applications.
inputs
Renewable resources like green electricity, biomass reductants and green silicon generating recoverable heat.
production
Forming a stable liquid (HydroSil) with a CO₂ neutral process. Recovering heat from the green silicon process.
storage & transport
Using existing infrastructure with an optimized density at normal temperature and pressure, reducing transportation carbon footprint.
release
Exothermic reaction recovering the H2 molecules at 50 bars without loss, generating high market value low-carbon silica.
Our timeline - From the kg to the ton of H2
HSL Technologies is accelerating the adoption of HydroSil to reduce emissions and drive sustainable innovation. Our breakthrough liquid carrier enables safe, cost-effective storage and transport using existing infrastructure, overcoming long-standing challenges in the hydrogen value chain.
Beyond hydrogen, our process unlocks the valorization of silica, transforming a by-product into a valuable, low-carbon material for industrial use. This dual benefit strengthens our commitment to circularity and decarbonization.
By 2030, HSL aims to deploy large-scale hydrogen storage and support green hydrogen imports, helping meet the world’s growing clean energy demand. We envision a future where hydrogen and silica together power a resilient, low-carbon economy.
hydrosil advantages
Designed for compatibility with existing infrastructure, it offers safe, scalable, and eco-friendly solutions for both hydrogen storage and silica valorization.
With up to 50% CO₂ reduction, optimized material density, and non-toxic, non-pyrophoric properties, HydroSil supports sustainable industry transformation—delivering 187 tons of silica per ton of hydrogen released.
