Presentation Summary:
Hydrogen has enormous potential as a fuel: clean, potentially green and energy efficient. However, safe use of hydrogen has long been difficult to ensure - it isn't just like any other fuel. It wasn't such a problem when the group of users was small, technically well-informed, and routinely handled only small quantities. But soon that is likely to change, which means that a far wider community will need to be aware of hydrogen's special properties, the risks which come with them and how to avoid them.
