Hydrogen and hydrogen carriers and Toluene

Their prices have moved together.

Hydrogen and hydrogen carriers (energy) and Toluene (chemical): 1 relationship.

How they are linked

1. Price link: liquid organic carrier

Cost and price · Weak · Both ways

Some projects bond hydrogen to toluene to form methylcyclohexane, a liquid that ships like oil, and release it at the destination. The petrochemicals proxy shows at most a weak, negative link to the hydrogen index, with monthly moves at -0.20, as the markets are separate.
