Contractors for understanding commercial and industrial appliances (Hy4Heat work packages 5 and 6): Research Report on the Feasibility of Converting Commercial Sector Appliances from Natural Gas to Hydrogen, Lot 1

Reference number: TRN 1550/07/2018

Description of the procurement: Comprehensive research reports on the feasibility of converting commercial sector appliances (lot 1) and industrial heat generation (lot 2) from natural gas to hydrogen. This will require full characterisation of the market and identification of any knowledge gaps and barriers to conversion that may need to be addressed. They will inform consideration of whether further evidence, potentially in the form of practical testing, will be required to demonstrate that these sectors can be successfully converted as part of demonstrating and de-risking the use of hydrogen for heat in UK homes and businesses. This work is part of the Hy4Heat programme and will be managed and coordinated by Arup+, who have been appointed by BEIS as the programme management contractor for the Hy4Heat programme.
