Objective
The overall goal of HySafe is to contribute to the safe transition to a more sustainable development in Europe by facilitating the safe introduction of hydrogen as an energy carrier of the future.
The objectives of the network include:
-To contribute to common understanding and approaches for addressing hydrogen safety issues;
-To integrate experience and knowledge on hydrogen safety in Europe;
-To integrate and harmonise the fragmented research base;
-To provide contributions to EU safety requirements, standards and codes of practice;
-To contribute into improved technical culture to handle hydrogen as an energy carrier;
-To promote public acceptance of hydrogen technologies.
These objectives are to be achieved by:
-Developing, harmonising and validating methodologies for safety assessments;
-Undertaking safety and risk studies;
-Establishment of a hydrogen incident and accident database;
-Creation of a set of specialised research facilities;
-Identification of a set of specialised complimentary codes and models that can be used for safety studies;
-Promoting fundamental research necessary to address hydrogen safety issues;
-Extracting net outcomes from safety and risk assessment studies as input to EU-legal requirements, standards and codes of practice;
-Organizing training and educational programmes on hydrogen safety, including on-line mode (e-Academy);
-Disseminating the results through HySafe website, Annual Report on Hydrogen Safety, and Biannual International Symposium on Hydrogen Safety.
HySafe network addresses the medium and long term objectives of the Priority 6.1 "Sustainable energy systems". In particular, the HySafe NoE is directly relevant to the objectives of research area 6.1.3.2.2 concerning development of a robust and reliable framework for assessment of the safety of hydrogen technologies.
