    Adding 10% hydrogen was perfectly normal in Germany for decades, since hydrogen was a waste product of many industrial processes.

    The question is: how the fuck is hydrogen supposed to be an economical solution? It’s really really expensive and burning it in a stove isn’t exactly efficient.

      Especially as renewable energy costs continue to decline in the future, it’s hard to believe hydrogen will be competitive with electrification.

          True, but I still can’t see delivering it directly to homes as ever being viable (other than a delay tactic). As long term storage? Yeah, that may happen.
