Last week the UK Government cancelled a third trial of hydrogen-powered heating for residential use. Overwhelmingly, studies and expert advice in the UK and Europe are concluding the future of heating is still electric. While in industrial settings, hydrogen may still offer a valid alternative, heat pumps are continuing to be preferred for residential applications.
If you are looking at a new boiler and seeing ‘hydrogen-proof’ and ‘future-proof’ boiler options, please consider this. A final decision from the Government about any future pilots is pending, but all signs suggest the UK is now following the same advice governments in Europe, the US, and China are following – heat pumps are our future
