hydrogen in living lab
project H2@Home: hydrogen in living lab
in this project H2@Home we tested a full operational hydrogen installation for heating & tapwater; from gas supply, transport (underground & into the house), usage-measurement, in-house piping & H2 boiler. With a large group of companies, throughout the entire construction column (energy companies, installers, component suppliers (pipe, boiler etc)) it was the first time in Europe to do this in a living lab (people actually lived in the house). Of course with all possible safety measurements & installations (sensors). Because no standards or laws are yet defined for the usage of hydrogen in buildings, it was hard to convince local authorities and get approval.
It was proven that hydrogen can be used in houses, just like natural gas, and first set up of standardisation is now being made.

about H2@Home:
This project was particularly exciting because it was the first time in europe hydrogen was used to heat in a living environment

We used all forms of media to get hydrogen more known and trusted as energy source to heat buildings
