  Abstract

To reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the government plans to build 1,200 hydrogen stations by 2040 as part of the Hydrogen Economy Roadmap. However, despite the government’s plan and the growing demand, the expansion of hydrogen stations is limited by the difficulties in securing suitable sites for station installation and concerns regarding the safety and risks associated with hydrogen. Considering these issues, this study proposes a method for estimating potential damage to station facilities and surrounding buildings during the construction of hydrogen stations. This approach aims to facilitate the optimal arrangement of facilities and the identification of suitable installation locations. The overpressure resulting from a hydrogen station’s vapor cloud explosion is calculated using the TNT model. A methodology is proposed for estimating the damage to the main facilities of the hydrogen station and the buildings surrounding it according to the calculated overpressure. This study aims to develop a method to minimize damage to hydrogen stations and applies the methodology through case studies to identify the candidate site with the least potential damage among the proposed station locations.
