From ERM

Hy4Heat is a project funded by the UK Government (www.hy4heat.info), looking at the potential transition to hydrogen in the gas distribution network as an alternative to natural gas; the project is split into several work packages. 

Work Package 5 (WP5) is set to determine the viability of 100% hydrogen being fed as a fuel gas to gas appliances in the commercial sector (dominated by heating and catering appliances). 

In order to achieve the objective of WP5 it is necessary to determine:      

Market Characterisation - characterise the commercial gas appliance market in terms of annual sales and estimated installed base. 

Technical Challenges - determine the level of barriers associated with the technical challenges of use of 100% H2 in place of natural gas.  

Non-Technical Challenges - determine the level of barriers associated with the non-technical challenges of use of 100% H2 in place of natural gas. 

The results of this survey should help provide a clear picture of the next steps to be taken within WP5 and the broader Hy4Heat project.
