The Problems With Hydrogen

hydrogen has a very small molecules much smaller than methane which is the gas that we have at the moment. If you try and put it down the same pipes you're going to have more leakage so it leaves sometimes through the pipes themselves if you still got the old cast iron pipes but particularly through joints. The way that you move gas through the pipeline system is through the use of compressors. You lose a third of your gas just from powering those compressors so that's a huge amount of loss that you have to accept. And then as you mentioned earlier you need a lot more gas to get the same energy output as well. To have the same level of warmth in your home you would need
