Collision between a hydrogen and fuel cells bus and a private car. The car was overtaking the bus and damaged its rear, left side.
The passenger car rolled down the road without driver and hit the hydrogen bus.
The driver of a hydrogen bus reversed into a post.There was some small material damage to the bus. No leakage of hydrogen (or other gases) occurred.
The bus drove into the garage and collided with a folded-out safety barrier. The upper corner of the roof was damaged. Also the first hydrogen tank was affected by the collision but without any…

high pressure spherical vessel, stress corrosion stressing by hydrogen, leakage along the weld, release of H2-CH4 mixture
A fire started on the brakes of a truck carrying hydrogen. Due to the risk of extension of the fire to the hydrogen, the fire brigade install an emergency area until the fire is extinguished.There…
A conventional truck drove into a FCEV. The left rear side was damaged. There were no injuries and no hydrogen released. The car body needed to be repaired and the receptacle and the hydrogen tube…
The HRS canopy was lower than the forecourt canopy. heavy duty vehicles were not noticing the issue and hitting the HRS canopy assuming same height.The canopy has now been repaired twice, and the…
A deflagration occurred during shutdown of a reactor used for ammonia synthesis. It was followed by a jet fire. The hydrogen leak was probably due first to the lower seals, followed by another leak…
In a chlorine electrolysis facility, a mixture of oxygen and hydrogen in one of the electrolyzer cells a short-circuit ignited causing a deflagration. The cover of the cell was a thin plastic film…
The safety cabinet with compressed hydrogen was located in a laboratory and used to supply hydrogen to an experimental facility. The safety cabinet was equipped with exhaust extraction. Due to a leak…
One of the two dispensers at a refuelling station for buses shutdown at a refuelling station. The dispenser company were called and confirmed there was an issue with the dispenser. The station…
Electric spark ignited hydrogen in a captive advertising balloon.
This near miss occurred at a CHP plant operation with a SOFC. During the heating phase, the SOFC stopped due to the opening of the mainpower switch.This was due to a contact problem inside the SOFC…
The incident aoccurred ina biogas-fed Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Stationary system, working in CHP mode.A sudden stop of the biogas feeding line caused the safety shutdown of the plant (SOFC module).The…
A number of hydrogen-filled balloons burst into flames at a secondary school. About 1,500 small balloons to be used for the opening ceremony of a sport event exploded unexpectedly and caught fire at…
The explosion occurred while restarting the ammonia reactor. Synthetic gas (70% H2) was released at the flange of the relief valve of the turbo-compressor. The explosion was followed by a jet fire.…
