TUD team has just published a peer reviewed article on hydrogen safety: “Preliminary Safety Assessment of a Liquid Hydrogen Storage System for Commercial Aviation”.

The future of clean air transportation depends on innovative energy solutions, with liquid hydrogen storage emerging as a key technology. However, ensuring safety in this new domain remains a challenge due to limited experience in aviation applications.

This study presents a preliminary safety assessment of liquid hydrogen storage systems, identifying critical hazards and evaluating risk factors across different scenarios. Using a structured methodology based on hazard identification and frequency analysis, the researchers highlight the most pressing safety concerns and propose targeted mitigation strategies.

Key takeaways from the assessment:

  • Identification of major safety risks associated with liquid hydrogen storage.
  • Systematic evaluation of hazard scopes across different subsystems.
  • Development of design recommendations to enhance safety at an early stage.
  • A proposed methodology for assessment of novel technologies during low TRL development.

This approach offers a comprehensive framework for guiding future developments in liquid hydrogen technology, ensuring safer and more sustainable aviation solutions.
