A group of three demonstrator homes in the east of Fife, Scotland, were officially opened by First Minister John Swinney. The homes showcase how hydrogen can be used to provide both heating and cooking. Dubbed the H100 project, the plan is to scale it up to as many as 300 homes in the coming months.<\/p>\n<p><em>What is a hydrogen home and how do they work?<\/em><br \/>\nHeating is one of the biggest sources of greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for 22 per cent of the UK\u2019s total emissions. Hydrogen is seen as a key technology for decarbonising this sector. Switching to a hydrogen supply requires new home appliances, including cookers and boilers. Bosch introduced its first hydrogen cooking hob, notable for its \u2018invisible flame,\u2019 which will be tested in the homes at the H100 Fife project.<\/p>\n<p>For the resident, a hydrogen home has little difference from a regular home. The appliances work in the same way, with the bulk of the changes happening on the supplier side. As such, it\u2019s seen as one of the least invasive ways of decarbonising home heating.<\/p>\n<p>The EU&#8217;s hydrogen strategy and REPowerEU plan sets out the position of the bloc on hydrogen technologies. Specifically, it details that, by 2030, Europe wants to be importing 10 million tonnes and producing 10 million tonnes of renewable hydrogen. By 2050, it should cover 10 per cent of the EU\u2019s energy needs.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the clock ticking on these targets, uptake of hydrogen at a domestic level has been low, with only a handful of small-scale projects underway. The first hydrogen-powered house in Europe was completed in 2022 in Southern Italy. The student building in Benevento uses hydrogen not only for heating but also to generate the electricity the building requires.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2025\/02\/09\/hydrogen-homes-are-being-built-around-europe-but-does-the-renewable-fuel-cut-your-heating-\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2025\/02\/09\/hydrogen-homes-are-being-built-around-europe-but-does-the-renewable-fuel-cut-your-heating-\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/hydrogen-homes-are-being-built-around-europe-but-does-the-renewable-fuel-cut-your-heating-bills\/\">Hydrogen homes are being built around Europe but does the renewable fuel cut your heating bills?<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[1016,575,17915,17916],"class_list":["post-137363","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-cut","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-heating-bills","tag-renewable-fuel"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137363","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=137363"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137363\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=137363"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=137363"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=137363"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
