We are very sorry to say that, due to the snow and icy weather disrupting travel (and with more snow forecast over the coming days), we are postponing the Hy4Heat Engagement Event that was to be held this Friday 2nd March. The decision to cancel the event and postpone it to another date has been made reluctantly - but we hope doing so means that we will be able to ensure as many people as possible are able to attend and take part.

Thank you for your interest in the programme, and we will be in touch very soon with an alternative date.

Kind regards

The Hy4Heat Team

BEIS, with the support of Arup as programme management contractor, intends to appoint contractors to deliver packages of work, up to a total of £20m, for a hydrogen for heat demonstration programme.

The packages of work will consist: (1) Definition of a hydrogen quality standard (2) Establishing an appliance and equipment testing capability (3) Development of domestic hydrogen appliances (4) Understanding commercial appliances (5) Understanding industrial appliances (6) Assessment of suitability of existing buildings (7) Trialing hydrogen appliances in unoccupied buildings. They may be divided into lots that may be awarded individually or in groups.

The programme will help support and inform future policy appraisal, the development of policies and measures to meet UK carbon budgets and the capability to support further hydrogen programmes. The programme will finish by end of March 2021.
