Remeha has achieved independent certification for its Quinta Ace, Gas 220 Ace and Gas 320/620 Ace boilers to operate on a 20% hydrogen blend. The Quinta Ace and Gas 320/620 Ace also offer NOx emissions of less than 24mg/kWh (Class 6) in compliance with the maximum two credits available under BREEAM, enhancing the sustainability of the installation.
The company says hydrogen is one of a combination of viable solutions that will help achieve the UK’s 2050 net zero ambition, along with electrification and low carbon heat networks. Ahead of the full conversion of the gas network to 100% hydrogen, using a blend of natural gas and 20% hydrogen across the UK could save six million tonnes of carbon dioxide a year, equivalent to taking 2.5 million combustion engine cars off the road.
Remeha product manager Paul Arnold comments: “There has been a lot of hype surrounding hydrogen in recent months. Securing independent certification for our condensing boilers means peace of mind for specifiers, contractors and end users that they are future proofed to the proposed blend of natural gas with 20% hydrogen.”
