Our electrolyzer vendor needs remote access for warranty. Can we still allow it?▼
Yes, and you should, because the vendor's monitoring often helps keep stacks healthy. The question is how. Instead of a vendor-installed modem nobody watches, we route their access through a path you own: MFA, a request and approval before each session, connection only to the equipment they support and a recording of what happened. We set it up with your OT team and the vendor so warranty terms are respected and your plant stays in your control.
Can you help with 45V documentation?▼
We help with the IT side of it. Your tax advisors and emissions consultants decide how credits are calculated, which records are needed and what gets claimed. We make sure the underlying data, such as power meter exports, certificate retirements, production totals and calculation workbooks, is stored with version history, restricted editing and protected backups. That way, if a review comes years later, you can show the original evidence and who changed what.
Do process safety rules apply to hydrogen plants?▼
Hydrogen is a flammable gas, and facilities that keep enough of it on site can fall under OSHA's Process Safety Management standard and EPA's Risk Management Program. Whether and how they apply to your facility is a question for your process safety and environmental staff. On the IT side, we make sure the documents those programs require stay available, controlled and backed up, including offline copies operators can reach during a network outage.
Will you touch the electrolyzer controls or the DCS?▼
No. Electrolyzer controls, reformer DCS, compressor PLCs and safety instrumented systems belong to your controls engineers and the equipment manufacturers. We secure the business network, design the boundary with your OT team and manage the remote access path vendors use. Any change at the boundary is planned through your change management process. That split keeps accountability clear and avoids anyone working on systems outside their expertise. Your OT lead always has the final word on timing.
We're still pre-construction. What should we set up now?▼
Start with identity and data. Give every team member a named account with phishing-resistant MFA, move project files into managed storage with clean permissions and set up data rooms for partners and lenders rather than open links. Decide early how vendor remote access will work and write it into equipment specifications, so OEMs know the rules before they ship modems. Fixing those decisions after startup is much harder and more disruptive.
How is this different from IT for an LNG or refining company?▼
The plant boundary work is similar, but hydrogen producers carry a heavier data-proof burden. Value often depends on showing how hydrogen was made: power sources, attribute certificates and emissions intensity. Many projects are also newer, with smaller teams, more OEM cloud connections and investors watching closely. So we put extra weight on record integrity, vendor access and scaling IT from development to operations, alongside the usual boundary protections. The marine and cargo concerns that dominate LNG usually don't apply.
