The implications of new hydrogen technologies for decarbonising domestic heating in the UK

Converting the natural gas network to carry hydrogen is now being considered as a serious option to help the UK meet its 2050 net-zero target for greenhouse gas emissions. This research project will evaluate a range of hydrogen heating technologies that could be suitable for use in domestic dwellings. The project will developing techno-economic models understand the implications of these technologies from both the perspective of an individual dwelling and the wider energy system, using a case study of Leeds. It will appeal to a technically numerate individual with some experience of modelling in a software package such as MATLAB or Python.
