loginHigh priority research directions for the hydrogen economy include safety as a technological, a psychological and sociological issue (US Department of Energy, 2004). This book provides the state-of-the-art in hydrogen safety as a technological issue and introduces a reader to the subject of hydrogen safety engineering. Hydrogen safety engineering is defined as application of scientific and engineering principles to the protection of life, property and environment from adverse effects of incidents/accidents involving hydrogen. The use of hydrogen as an energy carrier presents several unusual hazards. The best investment in hydrogen safety is educated and trained personnel, informed public. This book is a contribution to hydrogen safety knowledge transfer and education of all stakeholders including technology developers and safety engineers, consultants and users, policy makers and investors, etc. It can be used as a textbook for higher education programmes in hydrogen safety, e.g. MSc in Hydrogen Safety Engineering course at the University of Ulster.
