No big shift to hydrogen likely in UK heating – Octopus

Heat pumps likely to win out in household heating as cost of hydrogen will hold it back, CEO of green hydrogen company tells First Element conference

Hydrogen will fail to achieve a significant breakthrough as a fuel in the UK’s future low-carbon domestic heating market because it will cost too much compared with natural gas and electricity in the long term, according to green hydrogen project developer Octopus Hydrogen. Green hydrogen production costs would need to drop to around 50p/kg (62¢/kg) even to match the UK’s long-term average gas price of 70p/th, Octopus Hydrogen’s CEO and founder Will Rowe told Gulf Energy Information’s First Element hydrogen conference in London. Rowe puts UK green hydrogen production costs at about £10/kg based on current electricity prices, implying a 20-fold increase in household heating bills. In the long
