Scoping Paper on RCS – safety not “how”, but “what“ and “by when”

Sustainable Energy SystemsInt’l H2 Safety Conf, Pisa, Italy, 8-10 Sep. 2005 1

IPHE projects focus on pre-competitive collaborative research, development and demonstration activities

IPHE projects leverage existing funds from IPHE countries• funding mechanisms different for each country • explore any existing agreements (bi-lateral, multi-lateral,

other)

• Improved leverage of resources among IPHE partners in terms of required budgets and research infrastructures

• Promotion of common approaches for risk and safety assessment and risk management in similar applications

IPHE-ILC “expectations” from this ICHS event:

network and explore collaborations

• establish and strengthen collaboration in IPHE-recognised projects

• via National Points of Contact provide recommendations to the IPHE Steering and Implementing and Liaison Committee on possible forthcoming joint-IPHE projects


• provide a forum for information exchange and discussing collaboration, from where recommendations can be forwarded to policy- and decision makers of IPHE members.

• identify scope of R&D activities which can benefit from IPHE collaboration

• IPHE Scoping Papers

• act as a catalyst for cooperation and for facilitating harmonisation of activities by IPHE members related to topics identified in Scoping Papers and in IPHE events

• organise workshops/ conferences• define and agree on “IPHE” project qualifiers• Set up project evaluation team – compliance + content

check• feed evaluation results to Steering Committee

Facilitating function for IPHE-ILC


• Compilation and sharing of experimental data and development of a database for hydrogen safety assessment of different applications, including full-scale test data.

• Collection of already available industry standards and establishment of a common basis for risk assessment, for risk acceptance criteria, for definition of hazard zones, for modelling and experimental activities on a worldwide scale by taking into account different regional requirements and levels of technical and educational advancement.

• Prioritisation of development and validation needs for analytical and numerical models required for the safe use of hydrogen in different applications, definition of scenarios for computational modelling.

• Consideration of joint programs in large (full scale) experimental work within safety, e.g. crash tests of vehicles, hydrogen leaks in tunnels and garages, etc.
