Market Segmentation of Domestic and Commercial Natural Gas Appliances

The main goal of the project is to enable the wide adoption of H2NG (hydrogen in natural gas) blends by closing knowledge gaps regarding technical impacts on residential and commercial gas appliances. The project consortium will identify and recommend appropriate codes and standards that should be adapted to answer the needs and develop a strategy for addressing the challenges for new and existing appliances.
This deliverable on market segmentation is part of work package 2 and provides a quantitative segmentation of the gas appliance market in terms of appliance population numbers. It therefore prepares the project partners to perform the subsequent selection of the most representative product types to be tested in the laboratories of the THyGA partners.
The classification is developed to categorise appliances installed in the field, based on available statistics, calculation methods and estimations. As a result, appliance populations are provided for each technology segment that draw a representative picture of the installed end-use appliances within the European Union in 2020.
