Abstract
The introduction of hydrogen technologies in the automotive and energy industry requires research in all areas of its possible application including production of hydrogen, through its operation. All of these stages are burdened by the risk caused by interaction of hydrogen with the environment and technological subject. Security group risks represent significant risk of handling hydrogen due to the possibility of explosion. Based on the risk value, the safety level of the individual subsystems of hydrogen production and utilization process is subsequently assessed. Consequently, it is possible to assess the overall safety of the mobile system based on the final/resulting value of the risk. In case of improper handling, technical failure/incident or unexpected adverse event, there is a risk of hydrogen leak into the environment. With the wide range of explosive capacity of hydrogen-air mixture, it can represent a high risk of explosion with a relatively little energy initialization.
