Making safety the focus of your projects Safety and risk control every day Strictly speaking, hydrogen is not an energy source, but rather an energy vector which must be produced and then stored for later use. It is seen as a major asset in the energy transition, making it possible to regulate the production of electricity from renewable energies and to convert the current uses of hydrogen in the industry, energy and transport sectors into green practices. Today, although 80% of hydrogen comes from fossil fuels, the production of decarbonized hydrogen is becoming a solution for the future and is attracting increasing interest from many stakeholders throughout the world. Supported by the public authorities and funding from the France Relance plan, the development of decarbonized hydrogen production using electrolysis is
ramping up, bringing with it specific risks that each stakeholder must deal with in order to ensure the successful outcome of their projects. In order to develop the hydrogen industry smoothly and securely, SAFETY must always be a top priority. Apave supports stakeholders in the hydrogen market through every stage of the value chain, based on its high level of technical expertise. Our interdisciplinary approach is founded on the group’s 5 key business divisions to facilitate your Hydrogen project. Our teams are at your side to inform your strategic decision-making and support you at the highest level.
