Cadent has calculated that 40GW of offshore wind capacity would be sufficient to create the green hydrogen needed to decarbonise home heating across the UK. This assumes that half of domestic heat by 2050 is powered by hydrogen. But even the 80GW the gas network estimates would be needed to supply every home with green gas is significantly lower than previous assessments, which have cited a figure of 385GW of wind to achieve this milestone.
