The Fuel Cell Technologies Office will present a live webinar entitled "H2 Refuel H-Prize Safety Guidance" on Thursday, August 6, from 1 to 2 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. Safe practices for the production, storage, distribution, and use of hydrogen are essential to establish public confidence and for reducing barriers to widespread acceptance of hydrogen technologies. Safety is one of the basic criteria for the Energy Department's Fuel Cell Technologies Office's $1 million H2 Refuel H-Prize competition. As part of the design submission for finalist selection, contestants must include a safety plan and a hazard analysis. This webinar will include a discussion on safety planning and what information should be included in the safety plan document. There also will be a general discussion on codes and standards and the need for local fire/building approval requirements. Members of the Hydrogen Safety Panel will lead the discussion and answer questions. Questions can be submitted in advance to HPrize@ee.doe.gov, or asked during the webinar.
