  • Hydrogen is considered to be the most important future energy carrier in many applications reducing greenhouse gas emissions significantly. To be applicable as energy carrier the safety issues associated with hydrogen applications needs to be investigated and fully understood. In order to analyze the risks associated with hydrogen applications, accidents associated with hydrogen in Korea from 1963 to 2002 have been analysed in this work. From analysis of accidents, we propose the necessity of research on hydrogen releases, dispersion in air, and explosion due to high hazardous of hydrogen.
