A trial project to inject hydrogen into an existing natural gas network at Keele University, blending up to 20% hydrogen (by volume) with natural gas to test whether this approach can reduce carbon emissions from heat without requiring customers to change appliances or behavior.

US Department of Energy initiative aimed at reducing the cost of zero- and low-carbon hydrogen production.

Boilers designed to run on natural gas and capable of converting to 100% hydrogen after an engineer visit.

Boilers developed by Bosch that can run on hydrogen fuel, designed to be similar to standard gas boilers for an easier transition.

Systems used in California for backup energy solutions during emergencies like wildfires.
