On the way to a climate-neutral Europe and a cleaner planet in general, it is important to rethink energy supply and build a fully integrated energy system within the framework of the European Green Deal. According to research, renewable energies could provide a substantial part of the European energy mix until 2050. In this mix, hydrogen could represent up to 20%, respectively between 20-50% of energy needed in transport and between 5-20% of energy needed in industry. An economy based on renewable hydrogen can significantly reduce the impact on global warming compared to an economy based on fossil fuels. The flammable and explosive nature of hydrogen presents obvious safety concerns for its widespread use. The variety of technologies for production and use of hydrogen as an energy source that are considered to represent viable solutions from an economic point of view also bring a series of risks, in terms of safety of personnel who would operate these facilities but also for the economic activities carried out near hydrogen production areas. As a relatively new activity, but likely to have a large impact on the energy industry as technological solutions mature, it is expected that accidents and hazardous events will occur frequently, as has happened with other industries in the past, from coal exploitation to extraction of hydrocarbons and the use of nuclear reactors. Rescue teams are at the forefront of interventions in industrial areas where there is a risk of toxic/explosive gas occurrences, both when it comes to interventions to rescue personnel but also when it comes to recovering technological equipment. Considering the particularities of hydrogen, the low ignition temperature, the difficult to visually detect burning, this area becomes a major challenge for the management of rescue activities and an absolute necessity due to the impact it will have in a short period of time.
