EU Technical Working Group for Seveso Inspections (TWG 2) and OECD Working Party on Chemical Accidents

Hydrogen Fuel Risks Webinar Part 2

Organised by the EC-Joint Research Centre with the TWG 2 and OECD
14 February 2024, 09:00 – 13:15 CEST

The webinar will be open for participation at 08:30 for those who may need more time to set up access.
If you have a question, please pose it in the Chat.

The webinar presentations will seek to address one or more of the following issues associated with potential hydrogen fuel uses in future:

Uncertainties (e.g., about number of new sites, technologies, locations, etc.)
Uncertainties about technical and economic feasibility of new use cases
Standards and regulations – Solutions and challenges
Implications for permitting and other oversight components (e.g., land-use planning, inspection)
New demands on risk assessment, modelling and accident scenarios
Guidance and good practice

Moderator: Maureen Wood, EC-JRC-MAHB		Co-Moderator: Marie-Ange Baucher, OECD

12:45	Discussion If you would like to ask a question or comment, please use the Webex chat
Speakers and members of the HFR Technical Advisory Group will be invited to reflect on the following questions: What do we think will be the technology issues to monitor most in terms of industrial risk? Are there some situations that are more likely than others? What areas of policy might be high priorities for review and realignment? What could be the contribution of existing experts in industry to help reduce risks associated with new hydrogen fuel use cases? What other topics could be exchanged in the framework of this EU + OECD ad hoc expert to help identify priorities for government, industry and international organisations?
