GoKawiilMIT spinout LNK Energies unveils system to convert diesel trucks to hydrogen
LNK Energies, a startup founded out of MIT, has developed a method to retrofit existing diesel Class 8 trucks to run on hydrogen using liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs). The company shrank the reactor needed to release hydrogen from the carrier liquid down to the size of a mini fridge, small enough to fit on a truck, according to CTO Alexis Huynh, who says the total cost of ownership is 13% cheaper than diesel.
