The government has told the public not to bank on the prospect of hydrogen for home heating. While recommitting to carrying out hydrogen heating trials, the government has said that heat pumps and heat networks “will be the primary means of decarbonisation for the foreseeable future”, in its official response to the Committee on Climate Change’s annual report. The response adds that “no one should hold back on installing a heat pump or connecting to a heat network on the basis that hydrogen may become an option later”.
