Green hydrogen gets a lot of hype, and heat pumps get a lot of hype. Who wins when they go head to head? Oh, well, the title above already told you: heat pumps!, was looking at the two options as alternatives for gas boilers in homes. This is particularly relevant has much of Europe tries to ween itself off of fossil gas, which often comes from Russia.
As the headline indicates, the study found that replacing fossil gas in homes with green hydrogen would cost about 2 to 3 times more than replacing fossil gas with electric heat pumps. The study focused on the 27 European Union member states and the UK. The study also considered “blue hydrogen,” but again, it was not cost competitive with electric heat pumps. Electric heat pumps were the only low-cost, low-environmental damage solutions the study authors could recommend.

So, aside from being more expensive , it’s illogical as a replacement for fossil gas home boilers. Even in the green hydrogen case, they indicate that having to build that much extra renewable energy generation capacity is not sustainable enough. Switching to heat pumps is the only option determined to be efficient enough in net to be adequate. Luckily, it’s also seemingly the cheaper option.
“Most heat in European homes is generated using fossil fuels, meaning residential heating is responsible for
