Fire on a Hydrogen Tube Trailer Truck (1025)

A fire developed on a tube trailer transporting 330 kg of compressed hydrogen, while travelling on a highway. The fire was due to a pressure relief valve of a tube releasing hydrogen. The flames reached 10 to 20 m. The fire brigades were able to extinguish the file in 30 minutes.The truck had left a plant of hydrogen production and storage to deliver to a refuelling station. The probable origin of the incident is a fire on the tyres of the truck, which caused the overheating of the tubes, the increase of the internal pressure and the consequent opening of the pressure relief valve.

Hydrogen Release and Ignition on Hydrogen Sea-Vessel (1015)

A fire broke out on the worlds first hydrogen carrier vessel shortly before setting sail from Australia to Japan carrying the worlds first international shipment of liquefied hydrogen. A flame was seen coming from the gas combustion units exhaust on deck.
