Hydrogen & Next Generation Boilers

The H-Generation: A Paradigm Shift in Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings through Hydrogen Gas Heating Solutions

As the world intensifies its focus on sustainable energy, the emergence of Hydrogen as a fuel marks a crucial turning point in decarbonising the heating sector.

By embracing the H-Generation, we embark on a journey towards a greener and economically viable future, where energy efficiency and cost savings harmoniously coexist.

How does Hydrogen work as a fuel?!

Hydrogen, a clean-burning fuel, generates only water vapor as a by-product, contributing to lower carbon emissions. When harnessed for heating, hydrogen can be burned directly or used in fuel cells to produce heat and electricity simultaneously. This versatility makes hydrogen a powerful contender for energy-efficient heating solutions.

Is Hydrogen available as a fuel yet?

Although hydrogen as a fuel is not yet widely available, hydrogen-ready boilers are far more efficient than conventional boilers, helping to decrease your environmental impact and lowering your long-term energy expenses – plus, you’ll be ready for the future!

Three things to know about Hydrogen-ready boilers

1. Hydrogen-ready boilers are designed to be compatible with both natural gas and hydrogen and are likely to use a mixture of hydrogen and natural gas (blended gas) to reduce carbon emissions, until pure hydrogen infrastructure is more widespread. The UK government aims to gradually transition from natural gas to hydrogen for heating to reduce carbon emissions.

2. When Hydrogen is more readily available as a fuel, Hydrogen-ready Boilers can be adapted by a qualified technician, to ensure the transition to hydrogen is safe and efficient. The UK government is working on establishing a regulatory framework to support this transition and ensure that consumers can use hydrogen-ready boilers with confidence.

3. While upfront costs of a new Hydrogen-ready boiler may be around 25-30% higher, the potential for government incentives and decreasing renewable technology prices can expedite returns on investment. Until that point, hydrogen-ready gas heating will help you improve energy efficiency in your home and office and gain substantial cost savings.
