The second and final dayof the EIGA Winter Summit 2024 showcased discussions on crucial topics shaping the future of the industrial gas sector. Emphasising safety, talks delved into hydrogen refuelling station distances, secure bulk hydrogen storage, efficient transport methods, and innovative furnace design for hydrogen fuel applications, highlighting industry advancements.
Safety distances for hydrogen refuelling
Often called safety distances, a separation distance can be used to mitigate a foreseeable accident and prevent an event escalating, in this case for hydrogen refuelling stations.
EIGA outlines these risks in three publications: Methodology for Determination of Safety and Separation Distances, Safety in Storage, Handling and Distribution of Liquid Hydrogen and Gaseous Hydrogen Installations.
