A trial where hydrogen is added to natural gas raises hopes of a low-carbon heating revolution.

Using natural gas for heating generates around a third of the UK emissions that are driving global warming.As a fuel, hydrogen functions in much the same way as natural gas. So staff in the university canteen say cooking on the 20% hydrogen blend has made no difference to their cooking regime.

The gas distribution firm Cadent, which is leading the project, says that if a 20% blend were to be rolled out across Britain, it would reduce emissions of CO2 by six million tonnes - equivalent to taking 2.5 million cars off the road. Consultant engineer Ed Syson told BBC News: “The prize is a large one. If we were to roll this system out across the UK it would be on broadly the same scale as offshore wind is today. So it’s a significant technology.

Working with our colleagues across Ireland Europe & UK to ensure hydrogen from renewables can support our energy system, in storage in transport and in the gasgrid ClimateEmergency

From a practical point of view, where the hell are you going to all of this H2? From a technical point of view, hope someone pointed out just how much energy electrolysing vast amounts of water would use. Where the hell is that coming from?

Big business won’t allow this to happen.

This is super-exciting! - a united, progressive, Great Britain leading the way 🇬🇧 ❤️

I feel a thorough SUPER AUSTRALIA AUDIT & SUPER INDIA / USA AUDIT needed upon INDIAN FILM STAR yester years REKHA who had 3 to 4 husbands including AMITABH & critics SAY SHE IS BLOODY BITCH TO THE CORE & responsible for raping upon ladies stardom around the GLOBE ? cbi / inr &um*

CLIMATE CHANGE ALSO possible by MAX VEGETARIAN FOODS POLICIES to survive the NEXT MILLION YEARS without war or disasters & EGG FOODS if needed & by leaving the hen to die naturally ? EGG as u know has some HAS WHAT UR TALKING ABOUT some hydrogen fuel ? UM* university Sydney /inr*

To be stitched up by ofgem and current energy privateers. No thanks!

And Hydrogen can leak through stainless steel containers. The article proposes no way of storing it, and a very poorly thought out way of providing the required energy to separate hydrogen from water.

Why's that ring got a big black centre when they're usually silver or chrome?

Noobs. Antimatter, cosmic magnetism, fusion power...so many other sources for energy. Hydrogen is good for storage though

Bring it on, it can power cars, trucks, buses, and it took so long for the money from the oil barons to run out trying to change minds. 🤦🏻‍♂️
