2 semi-detached homes will open in 2021 in Low Thornley, Gateshead. The properties include boilers cooker hob and fires with 100% hydrogen used for cooking and heating- producing no carbon.
The Hy4Heat initiative is aligned with the larger government 10 point plan, included in which is the pledge to establish a hydrogen neighbourhood and work on developing plans for a hydrogen town.
These new houses are going to be open to members of the public who can view appliances to compare with existing ones. Schools colleges and universities will also be welcomed to learn about the new technology.
