HYDROGEN BOILER DEMONSTRATION


Baxi is demonstrating a hydrogen boiler as part of the UK government’s Hy4Heat programme in Low Thornley near Gateshead. The boiler produces no greenhouse gases at the point of use. Hydrogen ready boilers initially use


natural gas but can be easily converted to use hydrogen as a fuel. Under current plans, the first hydrogen town could be supported with a hydrogen grid by 2030. Karen Boswell OBE, managing director


of Baxi UK & Ireland, said: “The infra- structure, in our view, will need to move even more quickly in order to get this market going. Heat pumps will work in some buildings, heat networks in others but hydrogen represents a strong oppor- tunity to solve this complex puzzle. “If production is ramped up enough, there


We look forward to supporting


energy managers in achieving effective heating solutions that tick all the boxes – reliable, affordable, resilient and more


  environmentally sustainable.

Advanced condensing boilers like Remeha’s low NOx Quinta Ace range are certified to operate on a 20% hydrogen blend, in addition to being around 20% more efficient than non-condensing models


are no limits on the number of homes on the current gas grid that could be converted over to utilise hydrogen. This is a race in which every horse needs to be backed.”
