A whitepaper by safety technology and gas detection firm Dräger, featured on h2-view.com, advocates for the widespread adoption of hydrogen as a power source while addressing the associated risks. The paper asserts that although hydrogen does not introduce significant new risks when compared to existing fuels, specific concerns can arise across its value chain. Safety measures, including safe installation, maintenance, and operation, are deemed critical for all applications of hydrogen. The whitepaper highlights the explosive potential of hydrogen when combined with oxygen, emphasizing the need for specialized flame detection technology due to its invisible flame in daylight. Other risks discussed include leaks, permeation, embrittlement of materials, sensor sensitivity issues, gas pockets, and hydrogen's odourless and colourless properties. Dräger stresses the importance of individual risk assessments prior to engaging in hydrogen activities to mitigate these risks effectively. Further, the paper points out the necessity of thorough planning, installation, and staff training for gas detection systems to be truly effective. It also underscores the stringent regulatory frameworks governing hydrogen operations, detailing key safety measures such as sensor placement, tank emptying procedures, and explosion protection protocols. Dräger's global network of system centres with specialized teams is highlighted as a resource for planning, assembly, and commissioning of gas detection infrastructure. The whitepaper concludes optimistically, asserting that with proper awareness of safeguards, advanced technologies, and adherence to best practices, hydrogen will eventually become a commonplace energy source in daily life. It underscores the need for organizations to embrace these safety practices and regulatory requirements to ensure the smooth integration of hydrogen into existing energy systems.
