1-1. Hydrogen Supply Chain Technology Overview

• Chiyoda has established a large and efficient H2 storage and transportation system.

• Methylcyclohexane (MCH), an H2 carrier, remains a liquid under normal pressure and

temperature (SPERA Hydrogen®).

1-2. Key Features of SPERA Hydrogen Technology

Long term storage & long distancetransportation

Easy to handle

Use of existing oil

infrastructure

Chemically stable, minor MCH (H2) loss during long term

storage and long distance transportation

Liquid under ambient temperature and pressure

Approximately 1/500 in volume

Physical properties similar to

petroleum products

Combination of new and

proven technologies

Combination of conventional equipment and

new dehydrogenation catalyst technology

2-5. Potential CCU Para-xylene production in Europe

14

Chiyoda would like to accelerate the project and release

CCU Para-xylene for all the world to see as early as possible.

Europe seems suitable for CCU Para-xylene production

due to public acceptance of green products and availability

of CO2 & Green H2.

→ Chiyoda is looking for potential partners in Europe and

hopes to accelerate the project’s timeline together with potential partners.
