James Steven, Business Development & Growth Manager at DNV, will be presenting at Hazardex Live 2026 on how to manage the hazards of low carbon fuels/feedstock.

As the expansion of hydrogen and derivates for low carbon fuels and feedstocks are key to building a Net Zero future, managing this scaling is an important factor in doing this safely and building confidence. Going through some of the incidents which have happened and what lessons can be learned from these also adds to building real world situations.

With examples and recommendations which have come from practical application, we will go through the main hazards and methods to manage these to build a safe a sustainable future.
