Understanding Hydrogen Embrittlement

Hydrogen, often heralded as a ‘miracle molecule’, holds immense promise as a clean energy carrier. As countries worldwide gear up to transition towards a decarbonised future, hydrogen has attracted growing attention. The rapid rise in renewable energies from wind and solar in recent years makes it increasingly feasible to produce hydrogen from renewable sources through electrolysis, and transport it as a fuel.

The uptick in production, storage, transportation and consumption of hydrogen has made it essential to assess and mitigate the associated risks.
