THE DANGER OF HYDROGEN FOR HEATING

 Madness on stilts: Hydrogen boilers might need ‘four-inch holes in walls to prevent explosions’

The Daily Telegraph, 3 March 2023

Households that have hydrogen boilers installed could be forced to drill a 4x4-inch hole in their wall to mitigate risks of explosion, according to recommendations in a government-backed safety report.

Residents in a neighbourhood being considered for a trial of hydrogen for home heating have been alarmed by a report’s recommendation that rooms with boilers hobs or substantial pipework “should have non-closable vents with [an] equivalent area of 10,000 mm2”.

That is a bit drafty, but never mind - just turn up the heating!
