FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
+-
What risks are unique to hydrogen equipment manufacturing?
Risks include product defects that could cause leaks or explosions, fire hazards inherent to hydrogen, environmental contamination, supply chain volatility, and increasingly, cyber risks targeting industrial control systems. Regulations also impose compliance requirements that pose legal risks if unmet.
