Using hydrogen to heat homes is inefficient and expensive, a report finds, contradicting the government.
A new study has cast doubt on government claims that hydrogen could be used to heat homes and so cut greenhouse gas emissions.
Last week the Business Secretary Jacob Rees-Mogg told the Commons that hydrogen was a "silver bullet". "Using hydrogen for heating may sound attractive at first glance," says Jan Rosenow the report's author and Europe Director at the energy think-tank the Regulatory Assistance Project. So for hydrogen to be considered "green", electricity from renewable sources has to be used to electrolyse water. The problem is that the process is inefficient.
