New energy, new hazards ? The hydrogen scenario
Abstract
For the last ten years and more, INERIS has acquired a practical experience on hydrogen safety. Among others, the following experimental topics have been dealt with : confined hydrogen explosion, liquid hydrogen leak and subsequent dispersion in air phenomenon, hydrogen jet release,dispersion and inflammation, measurement of hydrogen concentration in air-hydrogen atmospheres, pressurised hydrogen tank testing. In parallel risk assessment have been carried out on hydrogen-related equipement (reformers, electrolysers,...). This long lasting experience is now invested in hydrogen technologies. In this field, INERIS is involved in several European and national projects as well as in standardisation working groups focusing on the safe handling of hydrogen.
