A Review of the Quantitative Risk Assessment of a Mobile Hydrogen Refueling Station in Chungcheongbuk-do Korea

2022-10-28

The world hydrogen energy market is in the early stage of explosive growth, and the increasing demand for hydrogen fuel has also led to the expansion of hydrogen energy facilities around the world. With the rapid development of the hydrogen industry, an increasing number of hydrogen refueling stations (HRS), whether stationary or mobile, are being built in urban areas with a high density of buildings and population. As a kind of emerging clean fuel, hydrogen is also highly flammable and explosive. So, the risk of multiple accidents in urban HRSs has attracted more and more concern. Mobile hydrogen refueling stations are advantageous because they can be moved between locations to provide refueling. However, there are serious concerns over the risk of various accident scenarios as the refueling stations are transported. In this paper, Dong-Hwan Kim and his team conducted a quantitative risk assessment of a mobile hydrogen refueling station. And also analyzed the risks that may occur at two refueling locations and the transport path between them. During the demonstration process, Kong-Hwan Kim and his team's demonstration process revealed that risks are mostly in an acceptable zone and to a lesser degree in a conditionally acceptable zone. The demonstration concluded that the single greatest single risk for hydrogen refueling station factor is an accident resulting from the rupture of the tube trailer at the refueling site.

Hydrogen: an energy carrier with prosper future for renewable energy

2022-10-18

Hydrogen energy is regarded as the most promising clean energy source in the 21st century due to its cleanliness, high heating value and abundance. There are various sources of hydrogen energy, and the traditional methods of hydrogen production include natural gas steam reforming, partial oxidation of hydrocarbons, and coal gasification etc. With the development of new energy sources, the use of solar energy and other renewable energy as raw materials to produce hydrogen on a large scale has become a common goal for all countries in the world. Figure 1 shows the conclusion of different hydrogen production methods.

The Patenting Trends of Hydrogen Fuel Cells in the Transport Sector

2022-10-11

At the beginning of this year, the World Intellectual property Organization (WIPO) released a detailed report entitled "Hydrogen Fuel Cells in Transportation". In the report, the distribution and trend of the patent in the hydrogen fuel cell transportation sector is analyzed in detail from the macro and micro, national and international perspectives.

The IHFCA Monthly Journal is a members-only publication. It will publish monthly global information on the hydrogen and fuel cell industry, covering H2 prices in China, industry policies, technological innovations, standards development processes, and corporate news.
