Canadian Hydrogen Safety Centre (CH2SC)

The mission of the Canadian Hydrogen Safety Centre (CH2SC) is to develop and deliver safety solutions to Canadian industries that are either established or new to hydrogen; enabling the safe adoption of hydrogen as: a fuel, an energy carrier, a storage medium, and a feedstock. The objectives of the Centre include: • Forecast and understand industry needs to prioritize activities and align resources. • Coordinate nationally Canada’s hydrogen safety expertise and capabilities • Support the development and implementation of regulations, codes, bylaws, and standards (RCBS). • Enable access to a network of infrastructure, facilities, and expertise from Canada and the World. • Serve in an advisory capacity to governments, regulators, policy makers, and industry • Achieve safe handling of hydrogen at scale and on par with industry standards. The purpose of the Centre is to convene stakeholders for collective development of tangible safety solutions such as technologies, devices, etc. and intangible safety solutions such as experimental data for codes and standards; development of protocols, procedures, guidelines, etc. The safety solutions development is enabled through joint effort such that the benefits are shared and realized by more than a member or a stakeholder. The impact from each solution is aimed at an entire industrial sector to adopt hydrogen for sector growth, economic development, and minimize environmental degradation.
