Renewables

Renewables, such as hydrogen, biofuel and biomass, is seen as fuel resources that have promising roles in the reduction of CO2 emissions and sustainability due to their reusable nature. Even though they are considered safer for the environment, it does not necessarily mean that they are harmless. Preventive and protective measures still need to be taken at their processing facilities.
