Home hydrogen heating concept. Without clear evidence on hydrogen’s role in home heating, the development of other low-carbon alternatives could be delayed, according to a new report from energy consultancy Cornwall Insight. The Hydrogen Index 1 report urges the UK government to ramp up research to conclusively determine whether hydrogen is a viable option for domestic heating, with the clarity essential to efficiently target decarbonisation efforts in the home heating sector.

With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.
