In the wave of global energy transformation, hydrogen energy has become an important part of the new energy system with its clean and efficient characteristics. The rapid development of the hydrogen industry has also brought new safety challenges.

Safety requirements of hydrogen industry

3500/91-01-01 There are a number of safety challenges in the production, storage, transportation and application of hydrogen, some of the key safety requirements include:
• Leak detection

Hydrogen is highly flammable and leak detection is essential to prevent fires and explosions, requiring the installation of highly sensitive gas detectors to monitor hydrogen leaks in real time.
• Pressure and temperature monitoring

During hydrogen production, compression, and storage, pressure and temperature must be strictly monitored to avoid equipment damage or safety accidents due to overpressure or overheating.
• Emergency stop system and incident response

Scram systems must be designed to deal with potential hazards, ensuring that hydrogen supply can be quickly shut off and equipment operations stopped in an emergency.
• Functional safety

Control systems in the hydrogen industry need to achieve a certain safety integrity level (SIL) to ensure the reliability of safety-critical functions.

In addition, there is a need for authorization management to ensure that only authorized personnel can control critical equipment and processes; Industrial information security needs to protect control systems from cyber attacks or unauthorized access.
