This was the third webinar in the Hydrogen Fuel Risks Webinar Series, organised by the OECD and the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre. It focused on key topics related to hydrogen safety, including lessons from past accidents, the preparedness of safety and environmental practices for a hydrogen-based economy, and the importance of standardisation. It also explored risk comparisons between different hydrogen forms, regulatory challenges for large-scale deployment, and safety concerns for upcoming hydrogen projects.

Speakers and participants of the webinar will be invited to reflect on the following questions:
- How can we make sense of the regulatory framework? E.g., what are some typical bottlenecks? Are there opportunities for simplification?
- Can the land-use planning process be improved to be more efficient and/or transparent? If so, how?
- What challenges are there in relation to communication, awareness, and engagement in relation to different stakeholders?
- industry, e.g., new operators, design of equipment and installations?
- regulators, e.g., across competences and local/regional/national jurisdictions
- policy makers, e.g., national, supranational?
What could be some ideas on how to address them?
