The production, handling, storage and transportation of Power-to-X products often carries severe health and safety risks. Workers as well as people living near Power-to-X facilities must be properly protected. Constant monitoring and regular comprehensive audits are essential to ensure the safe operation of Power-to-X facilities.
For many Power-to-X products, standards and certification schemes are already in place for their fossil-based equivalents. However, with the massive increases in production and logistics these may need adaptation or amendment, particularly where there are significant risks of explosions in plants or pipelines, or where toxic products are involved.
