About this journal

The journal Hydrogen Safety provides a free and open access platform for publication of scientific content related to hydrogen safety. The journal has an international scope and addresses the whole broad topic field associated with hydrogen safety. So, contributions related to fundamental research on hydrogen behavior and the corresponding effects, methodology and application of risk assessment, field experience including lessons learnt, regulations, codes and standards, field experience, education, as well as public perception and acceptance are generally welcome.

The journal is equally open to contributions from the research, industry, insurance and regulatory communities and all relevant technology fields, from the use of hydrogen as an energy carrier to the large-scale application in chemical process, from nuclear technologies to aerospace.

The journal strives for high quality and high impact. The editorial board has implemented a careful review process and established an ethical board to follow best practices.

    Last September, the International Association for Hydrogen Safety (HySafe) organised the eleventh International Conference on Hydrogen Safety ICHS (https://hysafe.info/ichs2025/) in Seoul, Korea.

    Experts from research, industry and government agencies were invited to present and discuss new scientific findings, analysis methods, safety technologies and strategies, evaluations of innovative hydrogen systems and normative boundary conditions with regard to hydrogen safety. In line with the two-year cycle, which also involves alternating the venue between America, Asia and Europe, this conference was held in Seoul, South Korea. The organisation was strongly supported by the local organiser Korea Gas Safety Corporation (KGS) and the Korean Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE).

    With well over 300 participants from 22 countries and 185 written contributions, ICHS2025 was the largest event in this series to date. Visitors gave consistently positive feedback, including on the programme design and the quality of the contributions. The contributions, peer-reviewed by the Scientific Committee, filled 36 thematic sessions – arranged in four parallel tracks for the first time – and a poster session.

    A selection of the best contributions has now been invited for publication in our journal Hydrogen Safety. Among them are the papers awarded the following prizes by the Best Paper Committee:

    Robert Scheffer award: Towards a Reliable Methodology for Assessing Overpressure in Hydrogen Vents, authors: J. Melguizo-Gavilanes, A. Jarubenjaluk, A. Pekalski and A. Crerand

    Andrei V. Tchouvelev award: Comparative behaviour of type 1 and 4 high pressure gaseous tanks during ballistic testing, Etienne Studer, S. Kurdriakov, P. A. Masset, J.-E. Gauer, CDT R. Soulié, E. Havret, F. Sauzedde

    Not all invited contributions have been processed yet. Therefore, the first collection of publications should not be viewed as static. Further contributions will be added within the next few weeks.

    We wish you insightful reading.

  • Dr. Andrei V. Tchouvelev

    Dear Readers, Authors, Editorial Board Members,

    It is with deepest sadness that I hear of the passing of Dr. Andrei V. Tchouvelev.

    Andrei was a truly remarkable ambassador of hydrogen technologies and their safety aspects. He filled his different positions in the hydrogen industry, as a key advisor for different standardisation and regulatory organisation, with an incomparable and inspiring passion and broad exceptional knowledge. He served in HySafe as president and continuous advisor, as a chairperson in the ISO TC 197 and the respective sub-committee SC1, in the IEA TCP H2 as the safety task convenor and headed the RCS and safety sections of the IAHE and the Hydrogen Council. As a targeted, truly professional person he could rely on his brilliant strategic and tactical thinking and provided a deep understanding of organisations, always embedded in constructive and positive thinking.

    In addition, it was important for him to maintain the good relations and develop further the Hydrogen Safety Community. Consequently, I consider him the godfather of hydrogen safety. More than this, and maybe even more importantly, Andrei was an enjoyable companion with a fine sense of humour and a reliable friend. Personally, in the last 20 years I enjoyed very much the many nice meetings, enriching discussions and exceptional celebrations in Brussels, in Tirrenia or at any of the hydrogen hotspots worldwide.

    Andrei, we miss you!
