Throughout the course of the year, CGA staff presented at ten hydrogen conferences, sharing our Safety is Step One message with more than 32,000 conference attendees. Many of these events connected us with audiences well outside of our membership – from fueling station operators, to utility companies, to aviation and aerospace companies.
CGA’s Committees have been hard at work in 2022 and have published, revised, and reaffirmed more than 60 publications.
CGA has recently published a first edition publication P-97, Guideline for the Safe Handling of Liquefied Petroleum Gas Cylinders .
