Understanding fuel cell vehicles and hydrogen is an important step on the road to commercialization. CaFCP offers this information as introductory education for fire and life safety professionals. Materials found on this website include basic hydrogen properties and handling, fuel cell vehicle and bus safety systems and items you need to be aware of during fuel cell vehicle and hydrogen emergency response.
CaFCP members worked closely with local fire departments, the Office of the California State Fire Marshal, national fire and life safety training experts, and the expertise of our members to develop the material on this web site.

HYDROGEN FACT |
Q: Can hydrogen be colorized/odorized?
A: Unlike natural gas, which usually contains mercaptan, hydrogen cannot be colorized or odorized. Because hydrogen is such a small molecule and is so buoyant, no other substance can move and diffuse with hydrogen to effectively indicate a leak. In other words, by the time you smelled the odorant, the hydrogen might have already moved to another location and/or collected in concentrations above the lower flammability limit. |
