In a recent paper published in the “International Journal of Hydrogen Energy,” researchers Manikandan Muthiah, Mohamed Elnashar, Waheed Afzal, and Henry Tan presented a thorough safety assessment of hydrogen production methods utilizing Alkaline Water Electrolysis (AWE).

The study, which appeared in the journal’s Volume 84 on September 26, 2024, offers critical insights into the potential hazards associated with this hydrogen production technique and underscores the need for rigorous safety measures.

With the global shift towards cleaner energy sources, hydrogen is gaining significant attention as a potential cornerstone of future energy infrastructure. However, the safe production and handling of hydrogen present substantial challenges. The research by Muthiah et al. is pivotal as it addresses the safety concerns inherent in producing hydrogen through AWE, a method known for its efficiency and environmental benefits but also associated risks.

The researchers employed a suite of risk assessment methodologies, including Hazard Identification (HAZID), What-If analysis, Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), Event Tree Analysis (ETA), and Bow Tie analysis. These methods were used to systematically identify and evaluate potential hazards. Key findings highlighted critical hazards such as hydrogen leaks, oxygen-related risks, and maintenance challenges.

The study’s consequence modeling provided significant insights into the potential effects of unignited hydrogen releases and jet fire scenarios. These models illustrated substantial threat zones for thermal radiation and explosion risks, pointing to the necessity for comprehensive safety protocols and emergency response strategies.

The practical applications of this research are far-reaching. By providing a framework for risk assessment and mitigation, the study offers a roadmap for enhancing safety in hydrogen production facilities. This is especially relevant for industries and infrastructures looking to adopt hydrogen as a clean energy source.

Detailed safety protocols and emergency response plans identified in the study are essential for mitigating risks associated with hydrogen production. These measures are crucial for industry stakeholders to ensure the safety of operations and to foster public and regulatory confidence in hydrogen technologies.
