CLOSING KNOWLEDGE GAPS AND TECHNOLOGICAL BOTTLENECKS IN HYDROGEN SAFETY: A SNAPSHOT OF RECENT ACTIVITIES AT ULSTER UNIVERSITY

Abstract

The paper presents the progress in hydrogen safety research at HySAFER Centre of Ulster University. It includes results of two research studies performed in 2019. The first study is on the leak-no-burst (LNB) safety technology for explosion free in a fire composite tanks for high-pressure gaseous hydrogen storage. The second study is on the validation of Ulster's models and safety engineering tools against large-scale experiment on hydrogen jet flame from high-pressure hydrogen pipeline.
