In the fuel-cell world, about 100 such buses are in operation worldwide, including 8 single-decker vehicles in London, a figure likely to triple within 3 years, and be joined by a double-decker vehicle in 2017. Whereas the hydrogen fuel may routinely be stored as gas up to 700 bar, a technique developed by Hydrogenious Technologies in Germany involves Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carriers in which hydrogen gas forms a compound with an unpressurised toluene-based carrier liquid named Marlotherm, using a platinum catalyst, and transported just as with a conventional liquid fuel. It is claimed that 57 kg of hydrogen can be carried in 1 cu. metre of liquid, providing 9 MWh of energy. The liquid is re-usable.
