    Course Summary

    • Hydrogen (H2) is one of the most important clean energy sources. In a move towards a more sustainable future, the number of Hydrogen production and distribution facilities is expanding. With decades of experience in the process industry, we are one of the top players on the market – in assessing risks and providing comprehensive consultancy in Hydrogen safety solutions. We offer the first point of contact for Hydrogen safety issues with thorough knowledge of the hazards of working with Hydrogen.
    • This course gives you an overview of Hydrogen's main technical and safety considerations associated with production, storage, handling, and utilization. It also covers the topics of hydrogen interaction with different types of materials and hydrogen permeation.
    Objective

    By the end of this course, participants will gain knowledge in the following areas associated with Hydrogen:

    • Hydrogen Industry overview, Hydrogen physical and thermodynamic properties, Hydrogen production process, hydrogen Value Chain, main hydrogen utilization, and Hydrogen typical Hazards.
    • This course will familiarize the participants with the different risk Management associated with the Hydrogen industry (all value chains).
    • Distinguish between various storage options of hydrogen: compressed gas, liquefied, and storage in solids
    • Understand how Hydrogen is stored and appreciate the challenges associated with different types of storage. 
    • Explain the causes, which may lead to a catastrophic failure of a high-pressure hydrogen storage vessel and describe its consequences Understand the main safety and technical issues associated with compressed hydrogen storage
    • Identify the Hazards and Risks associated with Hydrogen Projects
    • Understand the Hydrogen Safety prevention and mitigation.
    • Identify the major hazard potential of Hydrogen (Generation, Transportation, and Storage).
