Read: Britain's first fully hydrogen-fuelled homes being built in Gateshead as part of a government aim to reach net zero emissions by 2050
Britain's first homes with appliances fuelled entirely by hydrogen are being built in Gateshead.
The two semi-detached show homes have been funded with the help of the Government's Hy4Heat Innovation programme and will open in April 2021.
The houses include hydrogen appliances such as boilers, hobs, cookers and fires that release no carbon emissions – giving a glimpse into the potential home of the future.
Hydrogen has the potential to be used as a clean replacement to natural gas in the home.
The Government hopes the homes will demonstrate the potential of hydrogen energy to help achieve the target of eliminating the UK's contribution to climate change by 2050.
The houses will use 100 per cent hydrogen for domestic heating and cooking in appliances including boilers, hobs, cookers and fires.
