Leakage   Hydrogen leakage from containers and pipelines is approximately 1.2 to 2.8 times that of methane and about 4 times that of air. However, leaked hydrogen disperses rapidly in the atmosphere through mass diffusion, turbulent convection, and buoyancy, reducing the persistence of hazardous zones.
