The HydroCoin — Eco-System

HydroCoin is a utility-token providing several functions to its owner. Beside the function as a tradeble crypto-currency, HydroCoin is also a certificate for renewable fuels. When customers see the HydroCoin — logo, they can be sure that this station is providing only renewable fuels for true zero emission -mobility. The most advanced function of HydroCoin is the payment-function. HydroCoin will become the most common digital currency for renewable fuels world-wide.

To realize this, it is necessary that enough renewable fuels can be provided. That is the reason why HydroCoin is creating a complete eco-system with partners, providing technologies to produce enough renewable fuels for upcoming electric mobility.

The first hydrogen-stations will use electrolysis to produce the Hydrogen locally. The efficiency of electrolysis is getting close to 80%. The energy will come from CHP-generators in combination with ORC, using RNG (renewable natural gas) as source energy. But also renewable-energy from new technologies like kite-power (kite-power-systems), water-power (turbulent hydro) and solar power can be the source for electrolysis, depending on the location.

The second wave of hydrogen-stations will use the LOHC (liquid organic hydrogen carrier) as hydrogen-source. This technology will enable us to turn regular gas-stations into hydrogen-stations.
The LOHC can store 54kg H2 per 1000 litres. This technology is already available, but only makes sense for bigger amounts of hydrogen. Our facilities will produce min. 200kg H2/h turning RNG into H2. The first facilities will use RNG from grid. Our new AER-Technology (Absorption Enhanced Reforming) will provide the RNG for second wave facilities while processing agricultural waste. 2tons of olive-kernels can be turned into 200kg hydrogen. The same output we can get with 2.3tons straw.
