Hydrogen mobility is growing rapidly, especially in countries like Germany and South Korea which have committed to invest in a hydrogen fuelling station infrastructure. As with any growth market, there is space for new entrants.
Solid oxide electrolysis (SOE) has high potential in Power-to-X applications. Beyond that, it can integrate seamlessly into several chemical processes, rendering it a highly capable all-rounder that has been known about for many decades, but...
Safety beats in the heart of industrial gases. There are inherant hazards in our operations and a primary role of management is to minimise the risk that these hazards would escalate to become accidents. Some...
