To solve the problem of climate change, carbon neutrality has now become a necessity rather than an option. Hydrogen is not only a energy storage that can supplement the intermittent production of renewable energy, but is also considered a good alternative in the field of utilization as it does not emit carbon dioxide after reaction. In order to revitalize hydrogen vehicles, one of the fields of hydrogen utilization, the construction of hydrogen station infrastructure must be preceded. Prioritization of risk factors is necessary for efficient operation and risk assessment of hydrogen stations, but due to the short operation period of domestic hydrogen stations, there is a lack of frequency data on accidents and their reliability is low. In this study, we aim to identify the causes and consequences of deviations in hydrogen stations through HAZOP analysis. Additionally, we intend to analyze them using Fuzzy-AHP. Through this, we intend to derive the decision values for the causes of deviations in hydrogen stations and apply them to hydrogen accident cases and risk assessments to confirm the reliability and utility of the data.

Since the government announced the roadmap to revitalize the hydrogen economy, we are constantly making the effort to expand the use of fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV) and hydrogen charging stations. There is however a significant issue to build and operate the hydrogen charging station due to the lack of the profit model. Many researchers believe that the supply of FCEV will be increased in the near future and finally ensure the economy of hydrogen charging stations. This study shows that the sales changes of hydrogen gas and consumption patterns by the operation of the hydrogen charging station in Changwon City. The results will be used as the evidence to support for operating the hydrogen charging station by private businesses and the validity of additional establishment of hydrogen charging stations.

Currently, the government's announcement of the Korean version of the New Deal Comprehensive Plan ('20.7.14), expanding the supply of hydrogen production and charging facilities, and major companies are rapidly building related facilities such as liquefied hydrogen plants and charging stations. However, safety standards for production, storage facilities, transportation, and utilization of liquefied hydrogen value chains in Korea are insufficient, and safety technologies and safety standards over the entire period of liquefied hydrogen are urgently needed. Accordingly, the Korea Gas Safety Corporation is trying to realize a safe hydrogen economy in Korea by enacting safety standards over the entire period, including liquefied hydrogen plants

지구의 환경보존과 에너지원의 효율적인 이용을 위하여 고효율의 환경친화적 청정에너지 기술개발을 활발이 진행중에 있으며, 이중 수소를 이용한 연료전지차 개발이 최근 가장 각광을 받고 있다. 연료전지차 실용화를 위해서는 여러 가지 기술적으로 해결해야 과제가 많으나, 그 중에서도 연료로 사용하고 있는 수소의 안전적인 저장 문제가 중요하다고 하겠다. 수소를 저장하는 방법은 여러 가지 있으나, 현재 기술로 이용 가능한 것은 압축저장 방식이다. 현재 소개되고 있는 연료전지차 대부분에는 350 bar 압축수소저장용기가 탑재되어 $120\~300km$까지 주행이 가능하다. 이는 소비자 입장에서 수소충전을 자주해야 하는 불편사항이다. 이를 보완하기 위해서 초고압 (700 bar) 수소저장시스템과 저압이면서 수소를 더 많이 저장할 수 있는 신 수소저장물질 개발을 각 연구기관에서 활발이 연구중에 있다. 국내에서도 최근에 연료전지차의 관심이 높아지면서 연료전지차량용 부품 개발을 정부과제로 연구중이거나 예정이다. 수소저장분야도 21세기 프론티어사업을 통하여 산.학.연 합동으로 연구를 활발이 진행중에 있다.

수소경제로 가는 길목에서의 압축천연가스에 수소를 첨가한 수소-압축천연가스(HCNG)는 자동차 연료로서의 뛰어난 효과로 인해 미국, 캐나다, 유럽 등에서는 강화되고 있는 자동차의 배출가스 규제에 대해 만족할 수 있는 차세대 천연가스 자동차의 대안으로서 관련 기술개발과 실증사업에 주력하고 있다. 향후 수소시대의 도래에 즈음하여 HCNG의 사용은 수소사용에 대한 인식 향상과 아울러 수소사용을 안정적으로 공급할 수 있는 토대를 마련하고 수소제조 등 여러 분야에서 기술개발을 할 수 있는 부가적인 효과가 있다고 하겠다. 따라서 최근 국내에서 시내버스와 청소차등에서 천연가스 차량의 보급이 확대되고, 충전소도 점차 확대되고 있는 상황에서 HCNG 연료의 적용가능성을 확인하기 위한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 인프라 관점에서의 선진국과 국내의 기술개발 현황을 소개하고 향후 우리에게 필요한 과제가 무엇인지를 생각해보는 기회를 갖고자 하였다.

This study evaluated comparison of the risk according to the type of fuel by three-dimensional simulation tool(FLACS). The consequence analysis of fire explosion and jet-fire was carried out in the layout of a typical high-pressure gas filling stations using CNG, hydrogen and 30%HCNG. Under the same conditions, hydrogen had a 30kPa maximum overpressure, CNG had a 0.4kPa and HCNG had a 3.5kPa. HCNG overpressure was 7.75 times higher than the CNG measurement, but HCNG overpressure was only 11.7% compared to hydrogen. In case of flame propagation, hydrogen had a very fast propagation characteristics. On the other hand, CNG and HCNG flame propagation velocity and distance tended to be relatively safe in comparison to hydrogen. The estimated flame boundary distance by jet-fire of hydrogen was a 5.5m, CNG was a 3.4m and HCNG was a 3.9m.

The effects of activated-carbon (AC) packing length on the Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) performance was investigated for the hydrogen separation from the multicomponent mixture gas. Linear driving force model was used to describe mass transfer between two phase and coupled Langmuir isotherm was used for each component as a nonlinear adsorption isotherm. When two adsorbents with a different adsorption capacity were packed consecutively in one bed, it is very important to determine the packing ratio of zeolite to activated carbon affecting the purity and recovery of the product. The activated carbon packing length in adsorption tower of 120 cm was determinated by the ending point of $CO_2$ contration. The optimum length of an activated carbon layer was 65 cm for production of high-purity hydrogen.

As environmental problems become a problem of survival, interest in eco-friendly energy is increasing to improve the environment. So, demand for eco-friendly fuels such as hydrogen, LPG and CNG is increasing. In particular, Korea, which relies on imports of most fuels, is investing in the development of hydrogen energy, which is favorable in terms of high production volume and energy independence. However, As demand grows every year, a variety of accidents occur in various ways, ranging from small leak incidents to massive fires and explosion, thus research needs to be done. So, in this study, compared and analyzed cases of hydrogen, LPG, CNG accidents occurring at domestic and overseas refueling stations. and various programs were used for assessing risk, estimated the flame length due to gas leakage and evaluated the dangerous distance.
