Heat recovery from hydrogen production

A study by Rambøll UK of the potential synergies between district heating (heat networks) and the future production of low-carbon hydrogen in the UK.

 

Based on case studies and a broader literature review, the report concludes that production of hydrogen could - as a bi-product - produce as much as 141 TWh of waste heat by 2050. If recovered, this could amount to more than 100% of expected UK demand for domestic space heating - while at the same time increasing the efficiency and business case of both hydrogen production and district heating.

 

Commissioned in 2021 by the Danish Embassy in London as part of the Energy Governance Partnership.
