| dc.description.abstract | Hydrogen shows a lot of promise for replacing conventional fuels. The reason for the surge in interest for hydrogen is that the hydrogen can address the two major problems common with the available fuel options to date; climate change and the potential to last long for being a renewable source of energy. Hydrogen has undoubtedly attractive properties for using it as a source of energy, but it is a hazardous gas and therefore requires a thorough risk and safety assessment before it can be used in fueling stations.
This report presents a study of the risks associated in the hydrogen fueling stations, along with the hydrogen properties, production, and storage techniques. The main focus has been on the consequences analysis of the compressor room and storage tanks while proposing safety barriers based on the review of the hydrogen accident database and CFD simulation in the case study. The study also highlights safety standards and their gaps. However, there is a need for further work on making common standards, addressing to potential risks and their solution. of hydrogen as an energy carrier. | |
