A village in northeast England is using hydrogen for heating and cooking, marking a key milestone in Britain’s efforts to find ways to slash climate-warming emissions.
Since August, a blend of 20% hydrogen and 80% natural gas has been piped through the public network supplying 668 homes, a school and some small businesses in Winlaton, a village about 7 miles (11 kilometers) east of Newcastle. The project, called HyDeploy, is the first time blended hydrogen has been used on the U.K. grid.
