Hydrogen Safety: Properties and Risks

About the course

Hydrogen has long been used safely in various areas of industry. We are now facing a shift where more and more sectors are recognising hydrogen’s low environmental impact and its potential as an energy carrier. This is a positive trend that gives us great opportunities, and also the need to ensure the safe use, transport and handling of hydrogen.

To use hydrogen safely, we need to ensure that the equipment and procedures used for the production, storage, transport and use of hydrogen are based on the special hazards related to hydrogen. It is important to understand the difference between the risks associated with hydrogen and the risks associated with conventional fuels. This course covers topics including leakage, flammability, material compatibility, and storage of hydrogen. 

Purpose

The purpose of this course is to give you as a participant an understanding of the safety related properties of hydrogen, the related hazards and risks, and the differences to conventional fuels. Furthermore, we consider the broader challenges that exist when it comes to the role of hydrogen in the energy transition.
