As hydrogen moves from industrial applications to widespread use in ports, transport, and even homes, public trust and safety protocols must evolve alongside. Our first publication from the North Sea Hydrogen Valley Ports (NSH2V) project explores this critical topic: What does safe hydrogen deployment actually look like in port environments?
From debunking persistent safety myths to explaining the unique properties of hydrogen, this publication outlines why ports are the ideal testing ground for standardized safety procedures—and how NSH2V is helping shape them. It also highlights pioneering examples from projects like NXT in Alkmaar and HEAVENN in the Northern Netherlands.
This is essential reading for anyone involved in hydrogen infrastructure, spatial planning, port logistics, or public policy.
