Many discussions surrounding Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) safety focus on thermal runaway and fire. However, a significant risk can develop before visible flames are present: the accumulation of flammable gases within an enclosure that can lead to a deflagration...

While hydrogen production facilities and hydrogen refuelling stations both handle hydrogen gas, the risks associated with each environment are very different. Hydrogen production facilities focus on generating, processing and storing hydrogen, whereas hydrogen refuelling stations are designed to safely dispense...

Methane is a major contributor to climate change. It doesn’t persist as long as carbon dioxide, but it traps far more heat in the short term, so cutting methane is one of the fastest ways to reduce near-term warming. [Link:...

As the biogas industry matures, operators are looking for new ways to get more value from their facilities. Biomethane remains the primary objective for most Anaerobic Digestion (AD) plants, but attention is turning to a second product stream: biogenic CO₂....

A report from the Green Gas Taskforce found that Northern Ireland has enough sustainable feedstock to generate 8 TWh of biomethane a year. That is almost half of the region’s economy-wide gas demand and more than 100 per cent of...

Two NFPA Codes, One Message — but UK Hospitals Answer to a Different Set of Rules The codes are BS 5839-1, the NHS’s own estates guidance (HTM 06-01, formerly HTM 82), and the NHS Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT)....

If your facility handles hydrogen in the UK, your legal obligations come from DSEAR and ATEX — not from NFPA 2. But NFPA 2, the US Hydrogen Technologies Code, just had a significant 2026 update, and it’s worth understanding why...

No dedicated UK law governs BESS fire safety yet. Here’s what NFCC and NFPA guidance requires, what’s driving the risk, and how detection strategy fits in. In May 2026, a fire broke out at Rufford Colliery in Nottinghamshire, one of...

The biomethane industry is growing quickly within the wider biogas sector. The National Energy System Operator (NESO) has projected that UK biomethane production could scale up roughly tenfold by 2050 as part of its Future Energy Scenarios, positioning it as...

Hospitals aren’t like other sites. Round-the-clock occupancy, patients who often can’t evacuate under their own power, and a dense mix of medical, industrial and refrigerant gases — all under one roof. Gas detection in hospitals isn’t optional here. It’s patient...
