Hydrogen Safety Issues: The Inherent Challenges of Hydrogen and Possible Precautions
Özet
Hydrogen energy is a promising source to meet the global energy demand. The
adoption of hydrogen energy by society is possible with the installation and operation
of reliable hydrogen infrastructures. Hydrogen has some risk factors inherently. The
wide flammability range in air, high flame speed, and low minimum ignition energy
cause fire and explosion accidents. In addition, hydrogen embrittlement in metals
leads to ruptures in equipment and the formation of leakages. Hydrogen refueling
stations, commercial hydrogen facilities, nuclear power plants, and laboratories are
places that are open to accidents caused by hydrogen equipment failure or wrong
human interventions. Determination of standards for safe operation and making
quantitative risk analysis assessments help eliminate accidents or mitigate their
damaging consequences. This chapter aims to raise awareness about the safety of
hydrogen energy by addressing the risks of hydrogen, past accidents, the lessons
learned, and the applicable precautions and recommendations against hazards.
