Hydrogen Safety
Hydrogen is one of the low carbon energy solutions that will be
critical for the UK's transition to net zero. But to be accepted by
society, hydrogen needs to be safe.
HSE has safely enabled hydrogen powered applications for nearly
20 years.
We specialise in conducting applied research into the safety of
gaseous and liquid hydrogen and as a result, we have published over
60 peer-reviewed scientific papers and we actively contribute to
the major global associations and committees on hydrogen
safety.
The evidence we generate is underpinning the regulations, codes
and standards that will enable industry to safely deploy hydrogen
technologies.
Our approach is holistic - not only do we understand the causes
and consequences of an accidental release, we also know which
factors are critical in preventing and mitigating risk.
That's why we are a valuable partner in some of hydrogen's most
innovative demonstration projects, enabling gaseous and liquid
hydrogen to be safely used in applications such as heat, power and
transport.
