The New Hazards in Low Carbon, Battery Storage, Hydrogen & CCS

The new hazards in low carbon, battery storage, hydrogen & CCS.

As the energy transition gathers pace, large scale storage of Hydrogen, Carbon Dioxide and lithium-ion batteries is demanded on a scale that has not previously been seen. The safety issues associated with these large-scale energy storage sites are not well understood.

In this session, we will discuss the key issues which need to be considered in relation to the siting of such establishments and the key factors to ensure the safety of workers, public and emergency services.

Presented by:

• Andrew Chisholm, Chief Engineer, Safety and Loss Prevention Global TA, Kent
• Ian Lines, Chief Engineer, SME - Onshore QRA and Land-Use Planning, Kent
