The objective of all stakeholders in the green hydrogen industry (operators, users, government bodies, insurers) is to achieve the highest levels of safety: both in design and engineering, and in operation and maintenance, ensuring that accidents at their facilities are minimized and, consequently, ensuring operational and business continuity.
To this end, it is essential to have a facility design that takes into account the specific characteristics of hydrogen with a comprehensive approach covering everything from storage vessels to inspections, including civil works, containment systems, the selection of sensors, pipework, materials, valves, etc., as well as hydrogen containment and safety features such as non-return valves, flame arresters, zone classification and ATEX components, safety distances, amongst other aspects.
