This study assesses the hazards and risks associated with using hydrogen for transport applications. With this cross sector view of risks and the associated understanding it provides, it is possible to define appropriate control measures, to try and avoid over-engineering control measures such that the cost of the application becomes prohibitive.

To assess and characterize how this can happen, OGCI's Low Carbon Mobility Workstream commissioned a study from DNV on the safety aspects and requirements of hydrogen as a fuel and energy carrier.

Download this report for insight into the following points:

Detail on safety aspects and challenges for the use of hydrogen as a fuel in maritime, aviation, road and rail transportation applications;
Available and emerging technologies that address these safety challenges
How and which international codes and standards applied to hydrogen and new (or updated) regulations are necessary;
The overlap between different sectors and application, that can already help to address these challenges for the viability of hydrogen

The key findings from the study are presented in a table at the end of the summary.
