This research investigates the safety of hydrogen vehicles and refuelling infrastructure using advanced computer simulations of fires and explosions. Findings suggest protective barriers can reduce blast pressures by 60–90%. The work provides evidence for future safety standards, helping enable wider adoption of hydrogen transportation while protecting people, property, and communities.

This research studies a bacterial enzyme called Huc that can generate electricity from trace amounts of hydrogen in the air. By revealing how this nickel-and-iron enzyme captures and converts hydrogen efficiently, the work could inspire low-cost clean energy technologies that reduce reliance on fossil fuels and support a more sustainable future.
