About ICHS 2025
This eleventh International Conference on Hydrogen Safety ICHS2025 will be held in Lotte Hotel, 240 Olympic-ro, Songpa District, Seoul, South Korea, on September 23-25, 2025 under the auspices of the International Association for Hydrogen Safety (IA HySafe).
The first ten biennial ICHS conferences (from 2005 to 2023) attracted experts from all over the world, and provided an open platform for the presentation and discussion of new findings, information and data on hydrogen safety – from basic research to applied development and from good practice to standardisation and regulatory issues. Hydrogen is now beginning to play a greater role in the transition to clean, safe and sustainable energy systems. ICHS2025 will address industrial heat and feedstocks, commercial and domestic heat, energy storage & energy transportation, and decarbonised clean transport throughout regions and across continents.
The overarching themes for ICHS2025 will address a wide range of hydrogen safety topics including: safety of large production and supply chain infrastructure, hydrogen and hydrogen carrier behaviours, physical effects, consequence and risk analysis, incidents, accidents and near misses, hydrogen effects on materials and components, safety of energy storage, power to gas/gas to power related safety issues, safety solutions for the implementation of hydrogen technologies, risk management, best practices, regulations, codes and standards, as well as communication strategies for wider public awareness and acceptance of hydrogen.
All contributions to ICHS2025 will be evaluated for their scientific content and relevance to the wider uptake and deployment of hydrogen as part of the safe transition to a low carbon energy system.
Why Republic of Korea
Aligning with global energy policy trends, Korea is making various efforts to transition to a hydrogen economy with the goal of achieving carbon neutrality.
As a result of promoting hydrogen economy policies centered on hydrogen fuel cells vehicles, Korea has achieved world-class levels of deployment in the hydrogen utilization sector. Recently, Korea has been focusing on the production of clean hydrogen with low greenhouse gas emissions and investing heavily in research and development for the advancement of the hydrogen
economy and safety industry.
Moving forward, Korea is expected to make significant contributions to realizing a future hydrogen society through efforts to ensure the balanced development of safety and industry technologies, including the safety management of hydrogen facilities and the creation of a hydrogen ecosystem across all sectors of the industry.
