Description of the Requirement

The Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) Directorate of Transport Canada (TC) is the focal point for the national program to promote public safety during the transportation of dangerous goods. The TDG Directorate serves as the major source of regulatory development, information, and guidance on dangerous goods (DGs) transport for the public, industry, and government employees in Canada. The Safety Research and Analysis (SRA) branch of the TDG Directorate supports this mandate by studying various aspects of the transportation system to inform decision-making processes.

The SRA Branch of TDG is undertaking a project to develop a quantitative risk analysis (QRA) methodology to support the work of the directorate. The SRA Branch has a mandate to advise on the potential safety outcomes of moving large amounts of anhydrous ammonia by rail along a given route, their likelihood and impact, and on the potential effects of proposed mitigation measures.

Much consideration is currently being given to hydrogen as a fuel for motive power. The Government of Canada led the development of The Hydrogen Strategy for Canada, which was published in December 2020 (https://www.nrcan.gc.ca/climate-change/the-hydrogen-strategy/23080). Liquefied hydrogen has a low relative energy density, can cause hydrogen embrittlement in different materials, is flammable over a wide range of concentrations, and is not commonly transported in large quantities by rail in Canada. Additionally, hydrogen is susceptible to leaking through means of containment due to the very small size of hydrogen molecules. It is therefore often proposed to be moved as anhydrous ammonia. Anhydrous ammonia is already one of the most transported toxic gases in Canada for its use as a refrigerant and fertilizer, and there is significant existing experience in its movement by rail.

The objective of this project is to develop and test a quantitative risk analysis methodology to assess the risk of moving large amounts of anhydrous ammonia by unit train along a given route, and the potential impacts of various mitigation measures.

The methodology should aim to provide a systemic approach to identify and quantify risk levels for the transportation of anhydrous ammonia by unit train. The tool should be useable by TDG, with the ability to adjust inputs as more information becomes available, and clear methods for disseminating outputs.
