Course description
In the upcoming new energy world, in which hydrogen plays a key role, intercontinental imports will provide the majority of the required hydrogen volume in Europe, as domestic production of enough green electric power will not be possible. Transporting hydrogen over large distances (several thousand up to 15 thousand km) is not straight forward, each possibility, be it liquid hydrogen or a hydrogen carrier such as ammonia, comes with pluses and minuses economically as well as from a safety point of view.
This course will provide you with the insights into safety challenges and some of the technical challenges that need to be considered and addressed when supply strategies and specific projects are developed. The course discusses (liquid) hydrogen and each carrier molecule option regarding its safety characteristics and how to address the specific hazards of each option. Safety management system and regulatory requirements are discussed, and specifics of each carrier molecule are provided. You will walk away with a thorough understanding of the technical needs, hazards and safety requirements for hydrogen and each carrier option as well as the hazard & risk assessment tools and detailed facts that will allow you to control the hazards, to ask the right questions, make knowledgable decisions and design safe systems.
