SYNOPSIS

Green Hydrogen is produced from water electrolysis process, powered by renewable energy sources. Hydrogen is a promising energy carrier with approximately three times energy density per weight compared to gasoline and produced minimal environmental impact from its combustion. Malaysia government, through Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation (MOSTI) has published Hydrogen Economy & Technology Roadmap (HETR) in Quarter 4 2023, with a vision of becoming a leading Hydrogen Economy country by 2050, while achieving the world’s decarbonization targets. Process Safety is a framework for managing the integrity of plant and facilities that handle hazardous substances through sound design, construction, operations, and maintenance. The intent of this presentation is to share how Process Safety principles are applied to prevent, control, and mitigate the unique risks posed by Hydrogen towards gaining various stakeholders trust for its future use and deployment. The presentation will also cover international standards related to Hydrogen safety.
