Hydrogen transportation systems: Elements of risk analysis

Stocks and energy shocks: The impact of energy accidents on stock market value

“…Zhou and Zhang [8] pay attention to the general risk of accidents in nuclear energy. In addition, Gerboni and Salvador [9] investigate accidents and risks in hydrogen transportation systems. Regarding renewable energy chains, Bezdek [10] looks into accidents with solar energy production, Bambace et al [11] highlight the risks with hydroelectric dams, Delzeit and HolmMüller [12] investigate the role of accidents with bioethanol, and Mabel et al [13] assess accidents in wind power generation systems.…”

Modelling the effects of failure of pipelines transporting hydrogen

“…Large amounts of hydrogen can be transported by pipelines, rail or road transport (Gerboni and Salvador, 2009). Except for the United States, most countries do not have an appropriate pipeline network at the moment.…”

“…This is referred to as the TNT equivalent method (Gerboni and Salvador, 2009;Guidelines, 1998;Lobato et al, 2006). The other, called the multi-energy method, assumes that the explosion sources are turbulences in a cloud which finally result in an explosion (Gerboni and Salvador, 2009;Lobato et al, 2006). These turbulences can be caused both by an outflow of gas from a damaged system and by infrastructure and landform features in the area of the created cloud.…”

“…One assumes that the explosion energy is proportional to the total amount of gas contained in the cloud. This is referred to as the TNT equivalent method (Gerboni and Salvador, 2009;Guidelines, 1998;Lobato et al, 2006). The other, called the multi-energy method, assumes that the explosion sources are turbulences in a cloud which finally result in an explosion (Gerboni and Salvador, 2009;Lobato et al, 2006).…”

“…Intensive work is now being done in many research centres to develop new methods of hydrogen production, transport and storage (Elvers, 2008;Gerboni and Salvador, 2009;Rigas and Sklavounos, 2005;Surygała, 2008;Yo and Ahn, 2006). The determination of safety conditions becomes an essential problem at each stage of using hydrogen as a fuel or a raw material in chemical processes.…”
