In goes water and electricity, out comes hydrogen. That's entirely free of emissions. If you have large-scale roaster, you can use a large hydrogen tank. But you might prefer a piped-in supply where available. In areas where a lot of chemical industry is located, you also find hydrogen fuel networks. We expect these pipelines to grow substantially in the years ahead. Suppliers are discussing the possibility of switching natural gas pipelines over to hydrogen fuel. In the near future, there is likely to be large demand from the transportation industry. The steel industry is thinking about switching to hydrogen fuel, and they will certainly need a pipeline network. There is talk about that around Dusseldorf, Germany. When that network is built up, then other companies can be linked in. Great Britain has a good network, and pipelines are being established elsewhere in Europe, such as around Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Hamburg. Big industrial companies are installing wind generators, and they will use some of that electricity to generate green hydrogen. Solar photovoltaic systems will also be used to produce green hydrogen. What about the market response to your hydrogen machines? We've had a lot of customers here testing the shop roasters and ready to buy. Quotations started to be available in January and we are delivering the first shop roasters during the first quarter of 2023. How about the industrial-size roasters? We also began issuing quotations in January. We have customers interested in projects, especially retrofitting of existing roasting equipment to switch over to hydrogen fuel. That's not difficult to do. We even expect to do retrofits on shop roasters. Is hydrogen becoming part of your customers' marketing pitch? Absolutely. Companies see that it will help them meet their greenhouse gas emission targets and KPIs and sustainability certifications. Carbon footprint is becoming a major consideration in every industry, coffee included. Green hydrogen will certainly help.
