Hydrogen Safety in Energy Infrastructure: A Review

Abstract

For the transition to emission-free or low-emission energy, hydrogen is a promising energy carrier and fuel of the future with the possibility of long-term storage. Due to its specific properties, it poses certain safety risks; therefore, it is necessary to have a comprehensive understanding of hydrogen. This review article contains ten main chapters and provides, by synthesizing current findings primarily from standards and scientific studies (predominantly from 2023 to 2024), the theoretical basis for further research directed toward safe hydrogen infrastructure.For the transition to emission-free or low-emission energy, hydrogen is a promising energy carrier and fuel of the future with the possibility of long-term storage.
