Blending hydrogen into the gas grid at typical 20% maximum concentration only dilutes the energy content (like adding water to petrol) and yields only a 6% reduction in carbon emissions, while simply operating existing boilers at proper condensing temperatures achieves far better than 6% emissions reductions—making hydrogen blending a complete waste of effort.

“even if you put 20% hydrogen into the gas grid it only gives you 6% reduction in carbon emissions... We get much better than 6% reduction in carbon emissions just by running our boilers at a at at a proper condensing temperature.”
