Transitioning home heating to hydrogen requires new codes and standards to address explosion risks and cylinder setback distances, with ongoing research and trials.

There are talks about changing the home furnace heating source from natural gas to gaseous hydrogen. What are the implications, especially from an explosion perspective, and for any compressed gas cylinder setback distances in a rural setup?

Codes and standards to address issues like this one are under development, along with applied research and field trials. As with any new application, appropriate codes and standards must be developed to meet public risk targets.
