Hydrogen is gaining popularity as a fuel source for more and more fields around the globe. The use of hydrogen for transport represents one of the important applications of this chemical substance, in this sense the development of infrastructures, but especially the safety of hydrogen filling stations representing an important element. Using hydrogen to power transportation can reduce harmful ozone-depleting emissions while improving air quality. Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles can help improve air quality and solve climate challenges. After all, the only substance that escapes through the tailpipe of a fuel cell vehicle is water. One of the major disadvantages of using hydrogen to fuel vehicles is the high risk of explosion (between 4 and 75% hydrogen mixed with air). Both technical and organizational measures must be taken to prevent and protect against explosions. Technological progress and the development of knowledge in the field of explosion protection have made it possible to develop software tools, open-source and commercial, that can analyze the hazards and adverse consequences that explosion-type events can have. This study presents the applicability of such a software tool, for modeling the hypothetical discharges of untimely hydrogen discharges within a vehicle fueling station, as well as the consequence modelling of such an undesired event.
