Final Report: Hydrogen Safety Panel Review of DOE Fuel Cell Projects

The Hydrogen Safety Panel was tasked with conducting work under the project “Hydrogen Safety Panel Review of Department of Energy’s Fuel Cell Projects,” through memorandum purchase order DCO-0-40618-01 with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory using American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funding.  Panel members reviewed project safety plans, conducted safety review site visits for selected projects, and prepared safety evaluation reports for the sites visited that included safety recommendations for the project teams.  These recommendations are summarized in Table ES.1.  Follow-up teleconferences were conducted after the safety evaluation reports were issued to determine what recommendations were voluntarily implemented by the project teams.
