Boil-off Systems crucial for safe hydrogen use

By hydrogen expert Hans de Laat

Hydrogen is widely recognized as an environmentally friendly alternative to fossil fuels. However, it is also combustible and a greenhouse gas. In the application of hydrogen, for example in vehicles and during its transportation in pipeline networks, excess hydrogen inevitably occurs. To prevent its release, it is essential to equip vehicles and hydrogen networks with a boil-off management system (BMS) capable of efficiently venting excess gas. Kiwa's hydrogen expert Hans de Laat wrote an article on this topic.
