Hydrogen, while a vital component in various industrial processes, poses significant risks due to its highly flammable nature. As industries continue to integrate hydrogen into their operations, the importance of hydrogen monitoring systems becomes increasingly evident. These systems are designed to detect potential leaks, prevent accidents, and enhance the overall safety protocols of industrial facilities.

With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.
