WAR<strong>MI</strong>NG UP<br />
TO HYDROGEN<br />
Over 35% of the UK’s carbon<br />
dioxide emissions come from the<br />
use of natural gas for heating and<br />
cooking in homes and businesses.<br />
The UK Government is funding a<br />
£25 million programme, known<br />
as Hy4Heat, to explore whether<br />
hydrogen could replace natural gas<br />
and enable reuse of the existing<br />
gas network to deliver low carbon<br />
energy.<br />
UK<br />
This programme will focus on<br />
overcoming two of the biggest<br />
challenges with hydrogen: safety<br />
issues associated with its use in<br />
buildings, and development of<br />
appliances to burn hydrogen. It will<br />
involve creating new gas standards<br />
for the safe use of hydrogen.<br />
Manufacturers will be appointed to<br />
develop hydrogen boilers, cookers<br />
and fires for test and demonstration,<br />
and preparations will be made for a<br />
community trial.<br />
