Codes and Standards for Hydrogen Energy Systems
Abstract
Codes and standards enable widescale commercialization of hydrogen energy systems. FCHEA facilitates industry participation to ensure that developing requirements reflect industry best practices and facilitates harmonization of technical requirements throughout national and international codes and standards. This presentation will describe current efforts and explore the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration on technical requirements for hydrogen energy systems in emerging markets.
