We are leading the way in understanding hydrogen safety and managing risks associated with hydrogen. We partner with our clients to characterize and understand the unique challenges associated with fire and explosion hazards, as well as material compatibility issues in the hydrogen supply chain. With our industry experience and client partnerships, we are well-positioned to provide guidance on engineering systems that allow for safe manufacturing, storage, and delivery of hydrogen, including the safe placement of hydrogen fueling stations. BakerRisk is a proud member of the Center for Hydrogen Safety (CHS), CGA and sits on the Hydrogen Safety Panel and subcommittee, which works to enable the safe and timely implementation of hydrogen as an energy carrier.

Hydrogen Safety and Analysis
In 2019, hydrogen explosions associated with hydrogen fueling in Gangneung, Korea (May), Santa Clara, California (June), and Baerum, Norway (June) emphasized the need for proactive safety analysis of hydrogen infrastructure. Our commitment is to help our clients in safely developing the production and infrastructure for hydrogen to be the sustainable alternative in the future energy economy mix.
With a comprehensive understanding of hydrogen’s unique properties, as well as the safety-related risks in the hydrogen value chain, BakerRisk will provide you with a holistic analysis to understand risks associated with hydrogen, hydrogen fuel, and hydrogen carriers.
We are pleased to announce that BakerRisk has been honored at the inaugural Robert Zalosh Hydrogen Safety Excellence Awards by the AIChE – American Institute of Chemical Engineers’ Center for Hydrogen Safety (CHS). Visit this link here to read more on this achievement BakerRisk was honored with.

Read about the risks and benefits of using energy carriers like hydrogen or ammonia for renewable fuel sources and how BakerRisk can mitigate operational risks
Globally, the energy industry is experiencing a wave of new green hydrogen and ammonia projects, some now at the early stages, some in construction, and many just starting production.
On October 17, 2017, an ammonia leak was detected in the refrigeration mechanical room attached to an ice-hockey rink in the City of Fernie in British Columbia, Canada. Three fatalities were reported inside the refrigeration mechanical room due to ammonia exposure. An investigation of the incident by the Technical Safety BC regulators concluded that the leak was due to corrosion in the chiller system that caused a rapid release of ammonia into the enclosed room.
Learn About the Hydrogen Economy.
The widespread adoption of hydrogen fueled vehicles as part of the transition to low-carbon energy consumption is reliant on the development of a comprehensive infrastructure able to supply hydrogen fuel in an accessible, reliable, and safe manner. Whilst organisations such as ISO and IEC are developing standards for this technology, for many countries this is lagging or in parallel with the design, siting, and operation of many fueling facilities. While hydrogen has obviously been present in industrial environments for many decades, the risks associated with its use as a consumer fuel still have many uncertainties.
The energy and transportation markets are changing substantially as the world rebounds into a post COVID-19 economy. Several major oil companies have announced plans to move beyond their core refining and petrochemical-based business models and become major players in carbon-neutral technologies. Airplane, automotive, and turbine manufacturers are planning to leverage hydrogen and/or ammonia technologies to provide carbon-free options to global markets.
