Hydrexia Completes First Maritime Trial of Solid-State Hydrogen Transport in Asia
Malaysia's Hydrexia has successfully concluded a trial involving maritime shipments of hydrogen using its solid-state metal hydride containers. The trial, initiated in September 2025, involved shipments to various seaports in Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Vietnam, with SEDC Energy managing transportation. Hydrexia's technology aims to provide a safer, modular hydrogen storage solution without the need for high-pressure or cryogenic systems, although it does face efficiency challenges due to heating requirements.

Hydrexia has completed a maritime trial for transporting hydrogen using solid-state metal hydride containers, starting in September 2025. The trial involved shipments to ports in Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Vietnam, facilitated by SEDC Energy.
The hydrogen is stored in a metal alloy and released as gas when heated or pressure is reduced. Hydrexia claims this technology offers a safe alternative to traditional high-pressure systems, despite facing efficiency penalties from required heating temperatures of 200-350ºC.
The trial is expected to enhance confidence among potential regional customers and promote hydrogen trade in Asia. Hydrexia has also partnered with Sinopec and Baowu for further testing of the technology.
