I and colleagues have been calling out greenwashing and risks around hydrogen for heating for years and have received a torrent of abuse for it.
Good to see that the UK’s Competition & Markets Authority is now investigating misleading claims around “hydrogen blend ready boilers”.
keep an eye on this website

By the end of the year it's going to deliver the most powerful, complete (and free to use) tool to calculate the impacts of energy efficiency policies on the economy, jobs, energy independence, air quality and health, among others.
It comes with multiple-measures tool to input sofisticated plans taking into consideration transports, buildings, industry.
Also: it comes with a regional/municipal module wit pre-compiled data!
non ci provo neanche a postarlo dall'altra parte che e' pieno di troll

Why you should care about the Fgas regulation.
Hopefully, the next big climate victory

Ad aprile scorso avevamo raccontato della proposta della Commissione europea che avrebbe portato a bandire le caldaie a gas dal 2029. A quel tempo, la Germania era tra i paesi favorevoli al bando come
Vi racconto una storia.
Di come il partito di estrema destra tedesca influira' su come tutti gli europei si riscalderanno nei prossimi decenni, sui vostri investimenti domestici, sulla nostra capacita' di europei di raggiungere o meno gli obiettivi climatici che ci siamo prefissati.

@Hypx hydrogen 5 to 7 times less efficient that HPs. I do not have to convince you or paste anything here, just follow Jan Rosenow on mastodon. He pastes plenty of papers and academic documents on that.
when it comes to economic analysis I am sure I posted the reports we published in the coolproducts.eu website.
but to not use my organisation's one, have a look at the one from the consumers' organisation:
The urgency of the challenge to mitigate the climate crisis will force all of us to change how we heat our homes: away from polluting sources like gas to greener and more efficient alternatives. According to a new study released by BEUC (The European Consumer Organisation) today, heat pumps will be the cheapest green heating option for consumers. They will be both more affordable and convenient for consumers than hydrogen, which is the only other non-fossil fuel solution.
I am sorry but when did I just say that I was touching on the economics of this?
I made it several times (look my other posts)
Thermally driven HPs have now less than 1% of the market. they might still have it in the future. But they also have some main disadvantages. One being that you need to still keep you gas connection and deal with the fast growing high maintenance costs. On top of your electric connections that you normally have.
