The PRESLHY consortium is pleased to invite you to the conference concluding PRESLHY project on pre-normative research for safe use of liquid hydrogen. Speakers from PRESLHY consortium and beyond will present the results of the pre-normative research performed for the safe use of liquid hydrogen.

The conference will be held online on 5-6 May 2021 and the program shown below may be downloaded here. Further details like the program is provided on the PRESLHY website www.preslhy.eu.

After registration on https://forms.gle/QpUXQX4qouhXFbwf7 you will receive the dial-in information and updates related to this unique event.

In September 2021 the hydrogen safety community is invited to Edinburgh to present the state-of-the-art, new developments, regulatory and normative aspects and practical implications with regard to hydrogen safety. Edinburgh and Scotland provide an absolutely committed background for this important milestone in the further rolling out of the new carbon-free energy technologies.

More details will come soon on this website.

The IPHE RCS Working Group and HySafe intend to collaborate on hydrogen safety, regulations codes and standards and awareness via common workshops, information exchange and further common actions like benchmarks and projects coordination. To this end a Memorandum of Understanding has been signed.

The first successful measure under this agreement was the common organisation of a workshop dedicated to the quite sensitive issue of “Tunnel Safety of Hydrogen Vehicles and Transport”. The workshop was held in the morning of September 18 in Buxtom, UK in advance to the LH2 workshop the PRESLHY project (www.preslhy.eu).

The related presentations will be published soon.

Our past president and honorary member Andrei Tchouvelev has been awarded the IAHE Jules Verne Award during the WHEC 2018.

Dear Andrei, we all hope that your unique and outstanding “hydrogen career” goes on. Congratulations to Andrei in behalf of the whole HySafe network!

With more than 700 hydrogen events –  accidents, incidents and near misses –  collected in a database, HIAD was one of the main results of the NoE HySafe (2004-2009) and still represents one of the largest collections for hydrogen specific data.

With support of the FCH 2 JU and the Clean Hydrogen JU JRC has regularly maintained, populated and upgraded the database.

The hydrogen incidents database HIAD is now available as an EXCEL file. Version HIAD 2.1 can be downloaded from https://minerva.jrc.ec.europa.eu/en/shorturl/capri/hiadpt . There you can also access an interactive tool providing data visualisation and user-customised analytical functions (still in a beta version). A feedback would be highly appreciated, to be sent to the two address below.

For all questions related to HIAD, as well as for providing new entries, please contact JRC-PTT-H2SAFETY@ec.europa.eu and Pietro.MORETTO@ec.europa.eu

The 2018 update of the research priorities will be done at the HSL premises in Buxton, UK. HySafe thanks HSL for hosting this important event.

After the installation of the Privacy Protection tool some browsers blocked access to our website.

This has been repaired. Access should be now possible. However, acceptance of our policy is still required.

On 17th the World Hydrogen Energy Conference will start in Rio in “winter mode”.

HySafe will present the Report on the research priorities workshop on Tuesday 19th at 2 pm.

Hope to see you there!

All interested contributors to the unique hydrogen safety event, the International Conference for Hydrogen Safety ICHS, which will be organised next year 24 to 26 September in Adelaide, Australia, are invited to submit a short abstract via www.ichs2019.com (menu item “ABSTRACT SUBMISSION”).

The deadline for submitting an abstract is 31 of December 2018. So enough time to become active 😉
