The results show that it is technically possible to store fossil-free hydrogen gas for the production of fossil-free iron and steel at an industrial scale.

The agreement covers seven of NMDC’s dredgers, with the potential for expansion to additional vessels in the future.

Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) promises improved reliability, but is it always worth it? Full-scale implementation is often overly complex, costly, and unnecessary—like using a cannon to shoot a mosquito.
