Investing in catalysis carries several risks and challenges:
- Technological Uncertainty: The success of new catalytic technologies is uncertain, and R&D may not always lead to commercially viable solutions. - High Initial Costs: Significant upfront capital is required for pilot plant construction and commercial plant setup. - Regulatory Hurdles: Compliance with environmental and safety regulations can be complex and costly. - Market Fluctuations: Changes in market demand and raw material prices can impact the profitability of catalytic processes.
