RE: Ammonia powder v liquification - new controls to come in now ?5 Aug 2020 12:29
Everybody chill. Kind of missed my point , and I am not deramping my own investment, why would I ? Bilbo, not everyone only posts positive or only trolls. I ask question and have pointed out global issue, never had a go at ITM who are a great company. When the markets went down , so did all my investments inc ITM and my guts says there are some head winds. However, if you choose to think I am deramping then keep on putting your head in the sand.
No my general point is a new focus on ammonia which is providing large sources of product to new tech hydrogen production projects. Yes, obviously the world understands hydrogen is explosive and so is ammonia if not kept under the correct conditions.
My question was will this bring in more focus on health & safety, extra control costs, extra transport costs and therefore the end of year for companies looking to use ammonia increasing the costs to the company ( not saying itm in isolation but globally ).
Beruit port IS the major source of revenue for Lebanon.
They effectively had an incorrect way of storage and an accident/sabotage caused this horrendous situation.
The cause - ammonia. I would like to think , Bilbo , that 2750 tonnes of explosives was being carefully monitored as will the world trade authorities? In Norway a NEL H2 Station blew up and they had to stop for a period of time to assess the reason. Hydrogen WILL have accidents associated with it, but the Beruit event will go global and those looking to big ammonia projects may incur extra costs due to this ? NEL working in Pilbarra on a HUGE project MW's of solar, ammonia, hydrogen.
An assessment of risk and creation of new rules and regs may have an effect. Again, put your head in the sand , but at least I am aware of risk management and in failures there is usually an expense to pay.
ITM is a great company that I hold !
