Applications of Process Safety Concepts to the Hydrogen Economy
Hydrogen is widely produced and used in the process industries with growing use in the public domain. While the former area of focus would obviously necessitate process safety considerations, the latter involves activities such as transportation in which occupational safety issues for individuals are paramount. The current research addresses this issue by identifying several areas of application in the hydrogen economy for three key process safety concepts: (i) inherently safer design, (ii) safety management systems, and (iii) the use of case studies.
