Analysis |
| Category: |
Hydrogen Fuel Pathways, Vehicle Options |
| Objectives: |
Identify the most likely risks and failure modes leading to hazardous conditions; provide potential countermeasures in the vehicle design to prevent or substantially reduce the consequences of each plausible failure mode; compare the risks of hydrogen with those of more common motor vehicle fuels including gasoline, propane, and natural gas. |
