BP just dropped a chapter on energy use as part of its Energy Outlook 2023.
Forecast of hydrogen use for 2050 in buildings: 0.8%. "There is only a limited role for hydrogen."

The #asphaltcollector for our project "Sozial100%Erneuerbar", a social housing project with 100 % renewables for heating and cooling (#geothermal, #wastewater, #solarthermal and the #asphaltcollector) is in operation! We started with #monitoring, #thermography and surface temperature measurements. The pictures are from end of May and we already had temperatures well above 50 C on the surface! urban surfaces are a valuable heating source for space heating. https://tinyurl.com/ye296pma
How can Europe phase out fossil gas for good?
Agora Energiewende analysis shows that fossil gas use in Europe can be halved by 2030 & completely phased out by 2050.
Note: buildings come first with nearly fossil gas-free building stock by 2040.

My beer and heat pumps thread made it to BBC 5 Live - here's an interview with me on why heat pumped beer is great.
Only 11 public H2 pumps remain open in the UK, compared to more than 57,000 public electric-vehicle (EV) charging points.
NEW RESEARCH: More and more EU countries phase out fossil fuel heating.
This is the first peer-reviewed systematic analysis of phase-out regulations for fossil fuel boilers in the EU.

RheinEnergie AG wants to build Germany‘s biggest heat pump.
A whopping 150 Megawatt unit is planned to feed heat extracted from the Rhine into Cologne‘s district heating network providing heat for 30,000 households.
German public broadcaster ZDF interviewed me about heating with hydrogen.
I told them that it will most likely only ever play a niche role given the existing evidence.
