Hydrogen can potentially be burned very cleanly, producing only heat and water.
Often this term is used in currency risk to refer to the situation where a bid for a commercial contract has been submitted at a fixed currency price.
 
Brown hydrogen is hydrogen produced in a relatively polluting way, using thermal coal in the production process.
 
 
In this context, the term "brown" refers to the heavy carbon impact of using thermal coal (also known as a black or brown coal) to produce this hydrogen.
 
The hydrogen itself is physically and chemically identical to hydrogen produced using other methods.

The risk is contingent on both being successful in the bid and the size of the eventual order placed.

A risk that may arise depending on particular events.

Often this term is used in currency risk to refer to the situation where a bid for a commercial contract has been submitted at a fixed currency price.

The risk is contingent on both being successful in the bid and the size of the eventual order placed.
