Education and Research

Electrochemical devices that convert hydrogen and oxygen into electricity to power electric motors in aircraft.

Hydrogen produced with low or zero carbon emissions, often through methods like electrolysis powered by renewable energy or natural gas with carbon capture.

Systems that use electricity to provide heating and cooling, which are becoming more prevalent with electrification but can strain the grid.

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

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.

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

Domestic heating boilers designed to be compatible with hydrogen fuel, proposed as part of the UK's net-zero strategy with potential mandates for all new boilers to be hydrogen-ready by 2026.

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