Overview

Whether you are interested in understanding the basics, hearing about how hydrogen safety at works on novel applications, or learning how science and research is helping society transit from small demonstration today, through to the full-scale deployment that will be required in the future then this webinar for you.

Due to its flammability, buoyancy, its ability to embrittle metals and other properties that require engineering control, designing a hydrogen system that ensures its safe use can be a challenging process. In this webinar the presenter will explore and put into context some hydrogen safety myths and discuss how to identify and manage the risks associated with Hydrogen. Awareness of hydrogen hazards is critical so that early precautions can be taken, such as designing a reliable hydrogen system.

Gain knowledge and understanding in:

• Hydrogen Safety
• How Hydrogen hazards is controlled
• Understand the introduction and use of hydrogen
