No bids force cancellation of methyl amine licensor tender
8A high-spec licensor tender from NRL failed to attract a single bidder. The requirements looked technically sound but commercially imbalanced. The cancellation exposes deeper cracks in how niche technologies are being procured. Click on Details for more.

8The transition from gas to hydrogen has a real cost and that isn’t technology—it’s integration
8What is more, adding hydrogen systems into legacy ammonia infrastructure is forcing redesigns across compressors, boilers, and synthesis units.
