1. Introduction
The demand of energy is increasing nowadays and the raw materials for the fossil fuel
economy are decreasing. Oil, coal and natural gas reserves do not replenish themselves when
they are completely used up and emissions from fossil fuel usage significantly degrade air
quality and the resulting carbon by-products are substantially changing the climate. Thus, an
alternative must be found.
There are 4 types of hydrogen based on how it is produced. Grey hydrogen is the most
common form and is generated from natural gas, or methane, through a process called steam
methane reforming or gasification. Hydrogen is called blue whenever the carbon generated
from steam methane reforming or gasification is captured and stored underground through
industrial carbon capture and storage (CSS). Because the emissions are not diffused in the
atmosphere, blue hydrogen is sometimes referred to as carbon neutral. Turquoise hydrogen
refers to a method of producing solid carbon from methane pyrolysis.
The most preferred alternative source of energy is green hydrogen as it created using
renewable energy instead of fossil fuels. It has the potential to provide clean power for
manufacturing, transportation, and more and its only by-product is water and heat. It could
play a vital role in global efforts to reach net-zero emission by 2050.
Hydrogen can be stored either as a gas or as a liquid. High-pressure tanks (5000–10,000 psi
tank pressure) are often required for gas storage. Storage of hydrogen as a liquid requires
cryogenic temperatures because the boiling point of hydrogen at one atmosphere pressure is
-252.8°C.
Failure mode effect analysis is a useful method for hazard identification in complex systems.
FMEA systematically identifies the consequence of component failure on that system and
determines the significance of each failure mode with regard to the system’s performance.
When FMEA is used in prioritisation of failure modes, it is referred to as failure mode effect
criticality analysis (FMECA). FMECA uses a Risk Priority Number (RPN) for ranking the failure
modes. RPN is commonly calculated as the product of occurrence (O), severity (S) and non-
detection (D) of the failure modes. Here fuzzy FMECA of an hydrogen storage plant is done.

2.Literature Review
Daewan kwon et al. [1] Quantitative risk on hydrogen refueling station is done using two
programs HY-Ko RAM, Phast / Safeti Performing quantitative risk assessment using two
programs Hy-KoRAM, Phast/ Safeti. By using these techniques range of damage and effect
on risks for the personnel and societal were identified and used to improve safety facility of
hydrogen refueling station. Furthermore, by cross analyzing the result improves facility’s
safety and reliability of the results.
Mustafa et al. [2] Potential importance of hydrogen as a future solution to environmental and
transportation problems
This paper mainly focuses on various properties of using hydrogen as fuel. Various factors
depending on hydrogen storage are also discussed. Furthermore, Hydrogen economy is
considered along with economies of hydrogen storage. Different methods of transportation of
hydrogen are also discussed. Thus, this paper focus on the advantage of hydrogen being
used as a fuel.
Miyake et al. [3] This paper analyzes the security risks such as deliberate attack on a
hydrogen refueling station. This includes the deliberate attack of the hydrogen refueling
station by terrorists and dissatisfied employees. The hydrogen refueling station considered
also had an on-site production of methylcyclohexane. Different threat analysis was
discussed quantitative risk estimation is done. Based on the analysis countermeasures for
prevention and mitigation has been suggested.
Renjth et al. [4] In this Fuzzy FMECA of LNG storage facility is done. This paper discusses
describe a method for developing a fuzzy RPN for calculating RPN in the case of complex
systems where identical values are getting for different failure modes. By using this method,
the analysis was done by using the variables for occurrence, severity and non-detection. The
results obtained from traditional fmeca and fuzzy fmeca was also compared. Thus, the paper
concludes that fuzzy FMECA as an effective tool for prioritizing critical failures in cases of
complex systems.
Fatemeh Salehi et al. [5] This paper reviews various aspects of hydrogen while using it as a
fuel. It includes the transportation, storage and application. Also, various basic properties of
gaseous and liquid hydrogen were also discussed along with their safety challenges. It
includes the safety aspects to be considered for the selection of materials for transmission
and handling. Also, this paper discusses on CFD for predicting various hazardous scenes in
case of hydrogen application.
Katrina M Groth et al. [6] In this paper FMEA is used to employed to identify failure scenarios
for a liquid hydrogen system. Also fault tree analysis is done for a liquid hydrogen storage
system. Thus FMEA, FTA & ESD are done on hydrogen leaks on liquid hydrogen storage
and the results were used to identify the components of QRAs in liquid hydrogen storage
system.
Byung-Hoon Yoo et al. [7] This study aimed to perform a quantitative risk assessment (QRA)
of gaseous H2 refueling stations (GHRSs) and liquefied H2 refueling stations (LHRSs). A
systematic QRA approach is proposed to estimate the likelihood and consequences of
hazardous events occurring at HRSs. Consequence analysis results indicate that catastrophic
ruptures of tube trailer and liquid hydrogen storage tanks are the worst accidents, as they
cause fires and explosions.

Tomoya Suzuki et al. [8] Although hydrogen refueling stations (HRSs) are becoming
widespread across Japan and are essential for the operation of fuel cell vehicles, they present
potential hazards. The purpose of the present study is to conduct a quantitative risk
assessment (QRA) of the latest HRS model representing Japanese HRSs with the most
current information and to identify the most significant scenarios that pose the greatest risks
to the physical surroundings in the HRS model. Comparing the breakdown of the individual
risks (IRs) at the risk ranking points, we conclude that the risk of jet fire demonstrates the
highest contribution to the risks at all of the risk ranking points and outside the station.
