Hydrogen Safety Unleashed: PNNL's Panel Celebrates Two Decades of Impact

In the early 2000s, as the world’s gaze turned towards the promise of abundant and clean hydrogen energy, concerns echoed about the safety of handling this versatile fuel. In response, the Department of Energy (DOE) Hydrogen and Fuel Cells Technology Office birthed the Hydrogen Safety Panel in 2003. Now, as this safety-centric initiative celebrates its twentieth year, led by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), it stands as a testament to two decades of prioritizing safety in the hydrogen realm.
