The new framework is intended to provide a consistent, globally applicable basis for evaluating performance, safety and reliability, helping to reduce uncertainty at the design and approval stages of projects. As explained, while hydrogen continues to attract attention as a potential zero-carbon fuel option, progress in the maritime sector has been slowed by a lack of agreed standards for testing and verification. Liquid hydrogen presents specific technical challenges, requiring storage at around –253°C and placing extreme demands on materials, containment systems and safety design.
