Hydrogen Safety Ecosystem

With many new organisations are getting involved in hydrogen, we decided to support a safer rollout by sharing our safety knowledge captured in dozens of hydrogen safety publications. These are publications that have helped keep our industry safe for decades. Check out the “ecosystem” portal for free, and discover the easy access to the relevant publications.

Hydrogen is central to Europe’s ambitious climate goals, as laid out in the EU Green Deal

The Industrial Gases sector has more experience in the production, transportation, storage, and application of hydrogen than any other industry in the world, having been active in the field for over 100 years. The Industrial Gases sector is therefore well-placed to be a key partner for a thriving, carbon-neutral Europe that meets its 2050 goals, in part through the successful deployment of hydrogen.
