Conclusions Report
(incorporating Quantitative Risk Assessment)
A comparative risk assessment of natural gas versus hydrogen gas, including a quantitative risk assessment; and identification of control measures to reduce risk and manage hydrogen gas safety for a community demonstration.
WP7 SAFETY ASSESSMENT
Safety Assessment:
Consequence Modelling Assessment
A comparative modelling assessment of the consequences in the event of a gas leak and ignition event for natural gas and hydrogen gas.
Safety Assessment:
Gas Ignition and Explosion Data Analysis
A review of experimental data focusing on natural gas and hydrogen gas ignition behaviour and a comparison of observed methane and hydrogen deflagrations.
Safety Assessment:
Gas Dispersion Modelling Assessment
A modelling assessment of how natural gas and hydrogen gas disperses and accumulates within an enclosure (e.g. in the event of a gas leak in a building).
Safety Assessment:
Gas Dispersion Data Analysis
A review of experimental data focusing on how natural gas and hydrogen gas disperses and accumulates within an enclosure (e.g. in the event of a gas leak in a building).
Safety Assessment:
Gas Escape Frequency and Magnitude Assessment
An assessment of the di
ff
erent causes of existing natural gas leaks and the frequency of such events; and a review of the relevance of this to a hydrogen gas network.
Safety Assessment:
Experimental Testing - Domestic Pipework Leakage
Comparison of leak rates for hydrogen and methane gas from various domestic gas joints and fittings seen in typical domestic gas installationsThe Hy4Heat Safety Assessment has focused on assessing the safe use of hydrogen gas in certain types of domestic properties and buildings. The evidence collected is presented in the reports listed below, all of which have been reviewed by the HSE.The summary reports (the Precis and the Safety Assessment Conclusions Report) bring together all the findings of the work and should be looked to for context by all readers. The technical reports should be read in conjunction with the summary reports. While the summary reports are made as accessible as possible for general readers, the technical reports may be most accessible for readers with a degree of technical subject matter understanding.
Safety Assessment:
Precis
An overview of the Safety Assessment work undertaken as part of the Hy4Heat programme.
WP7 SAFETY ASSESSMENT
Safety Assessment:
Experimental Testing – Commercial Pipework Leakage
Comparison of hydrogen and methane leak rates on a commercial gas pipework system, specifically the gas meter and equipment contained within the Plant Room of a MOD site.
Safety Assessment:
Experimental Testing - Cupboard Level Leakage and Accumulation
Comparison of the movement and accumulation of leaked hydrogen vs. methane gas within cupboard spaces in a typical domestic property.
Safety Assessment:
Experimental Testing - Property Level Leakage and Accumulation
Comparison of the movement and accumulation of leaked hydrogen vs. methane gas within a typical domestic property.
Safety Assessment:
Experimental Testing - Ignition Potential
Investigation of the ignition potential of hydrogen-air mixtures by household electrical items and a comparison with the ignition potential of methane-air mixtures.
