Not to hijack the thread but a little more info on hydrogen here: https://www.carbonbrief.org/in-depth...climate-change
Combi boilers to work with Evohome

I can see hydrogen working in new housing estates where bulk storage is employed, in much the same way that some rural housing estates now are run off communal bulk LPG when it's impractical to run a gas main to them. It could work as a drop-in alternative to individual houses supplied with LPG too, assuming their pipework is either capable of taking it or easily renewed. Beyond that, I think hydrogen is a distraction rather than a solution. The cost and upheaval of changing everyone over would be enormous, likely resulting in higher fuel prices to the end user as costs are clawed back for no tangible benefit to them. Heat pumps, and cleaner fuels for off-grid gas, have to be the way forward. Oil-fired boilers could be switched to biodiesel relatively easily - B10 blends can already be accommodated, and up to B30 with a simple pump change - although the difficulty with that ultimately becomes the supply of sufficient quantities of fuel.
