Industrial Boilers: Study to Develop Cost and Stock Assumptions for Options to Enable or Require Hydrogen-ready Industrial Boilers

This study aims to help the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) determine whether the government should intervene to enable or require hydrogen-ready industrial boiler equipment. It will do this based on information from existing literature along with qualitative and quantitative information from stakeholder engagement. The study draws on evidence gathered through BEIS’ Call for Evidence (CfE) on hydrogen-ready industrial boilers. The assessment will advance the overall understanding of hydrogen-ready industrial boilers based on four outputs: definitions of hydrogen-readiness, comparisons of the cost and resource requirement to install and convert hydrogen-ready industrial boiler equipment, supply chain capacity for conversion to hydrogen, and estimates of the UK industrial boiler population.
