Abstract

Hydrogen has become one of the most fruitful programs to promote the transformation of the energy system. However, there are still many unresolved issues in the prevention and control of hydrogen safety risks, which restricts the safe and healthy development of the hydrogen energy industry. This study analyzes the safety risks of hydrogen energy industry and discusses the problems and future needs for the safe and healthy development of hydrogen energy industry in China. First, the current status of hydrogen energy industry in China is briefly reviewed, and the challenges of safety risks prevention and control in China are analyzed. Second, a thorough hydrogen incidents investigation is conducted based on hydrogen incidents from hydrogen energy industry chain. Third, the current status and problems of China’s hydrogen energy industry safety support system are discussed systematically. Finally, based on research findings and the experience of hydrogen energy industry safety development of other countries, pathways for future safe and healthy development are presented. This study provides reference significance for understanding the safety risks of hydrogen energy industry and guiding the safe and healthy development of industry in China and even in different countries.
