Both Worcester Bosch and Glow-worm boilers are hydrogen-blend ready, meaning they can run on a blend of 80% natural gas and 20% hydrogen, ready for when hydrogen is added to the gas grid.
Hydrogen Boilers: What you need to know
In order to meet the Government’s climate targets, decarbonising the way we heat our buildings has to happen.
Looking at low- or no-carbon energy sources as alternatives is key and hydrogen is looking like one of the most promising options.
Nearly 85% of us use natural gas for heating and cooking, but natural gas is a fossil fuel and produces green house gas emissions when burned.
Hydrogen on the other hand produces no carbon emissions when burned the only by product is water. Hydrogen is also renewable meaning we will never run out.
Why hydrogen boilers?
A hydrogen boiler looks and runs almost the same way as your current natural gas boiler does. Hydrogen boilers will also be able to make use of the existing gas network infrastructure.
Hydrogen is cost effective solution with minimal disruption to homeowners.
Hydrogen boilers combined with heat pumps, solar thermal and hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) boilers are likely to pave the way for green heating options.
What’s the difference between Hydrogen Blend or Hydrogen Ready?
A Hydrogen Ready Boiler can run off 100% hydrogen or natural gas. A Hydrogen Blend boiler can run off a mixture of the two namely a 80/20 blend. This allows the move to hydrogen to be done in stages. In fact most of the gas appliances including our boilers that we use today can run off a hydrogen / natural gas mix.
All Worcester Bosch and Glow-worm boilers are already hydrogen-blend ready. That means they can run on a blend of 80% natural gas and 20% hydrogen, ready for when the government begins to add hydrogen to the UK gas grid.
