Hydrogen as a low carbon heating alternative
Replacing natural gas with low carbon hydrogen in all or in parts of the gas grid is a potential option for decarbonising heat in buildings. However, unlike more established technologies such as heat pumps and heat networks, 100% hydrogen for heat is not yet an established option.
HSE’s role in assessing the safety of hydrogen for heating
HSE will provide an authoritative view on the safety of using 100% hydrogen...More
Do you have demonstrable expertise in leading net-zero projects and/or use of inclusive design in the built environment? If so, you might be able to help the Building Safety Regulator make a sustained, positive change to buildings in England.
The Regulator (BSR) which is part of the Health and Safety Executive, is looking for an additional two people to join the Building Advisory Committee (BAC).
BAC was created in December 2022 to meet the requirements...More
