FIRE SAFETY FEATURES OF HYDROGEN FILLING STATIONS AS WELL AS BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES FOR REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE OF HYDROGEN-FUELLED VEHICLES

Abstract

Существующая в России нормативная правовая база в области пожарной безопасности не отражает в полной мере требования в отношении объектов водородной энергетики, в частности, водородной инфраструктуры, предназначенной для обслуживания и хранения транспорта, использующего водород в качестве газомоторного топлива. При этом популярность водородного транспорта в мире неуклонно растет. В настоящей работе представлены предложения по совершенствованию нормативных требований к обеспечению пожарной безопасности заправочных станций, зданий и сооружений по ремонту и обслуживанию автомобилей с учетом обращения в них водорода. At present, the Russian Federation is actively discussing the development of hydrogen energy. Despite this, the construction of hydrogen energy facilities, in particular, infrastructure for hydrogen transport, is constrained by the low sophistication of hydrogen transport and storage technologies, its high fire hazard, and the weak development of the regulatory framework in this area. Today, the specialists of the Institute are carrying out a number of research works to develop requirements to ensure fire safety of hydrogen handling facilities. One of the main directions is standardization of hydrogen filling stations, as well as buildings and structures for servicing hydrogen vehicles. This article describes the relevance of the ongoing scientific research, considers the regulatory documents in force in Russia and abroad with regard to motor transport infrastructure facilities, as well as hydrogen handling facilities. The specificity of the fire hazard of hydrogen, the results of scientific research related to the study of this specificity are considered. The result of the work is a list of requirements for hydrogen fuelling stations, buildings and premises for hydrogen transport maintenance and repair.
