HyHome
What was the Hydrogen Home?
Hydrogen Home (HyHome) was an Australian-first initiative showcasing 100% hydrogen gas appliances in a residential setting – demonstrating a potential way of the future for gas in the home.
HyHome was a joint initiative between AGN (part of Australian Gas Infrastructure Group) and leading residential home builder, Dennis Family Homes, with the support of our technology partners.
It was a demonstration of a potential future where low carbon gas supplied energy to our homes, allowing homeowners to continue to enjoy the benefits of gas, as they do today.
Hydrogen is a possible replacement for natural gas because it can be used in the same way for heating, hot water and cooking appliances like your cooktop or barbeque.
Take a closer look at 100% hydrogen gas appliances
While some existing home appliances can work safely, reliably and effectively with hydrogen blends, some appliance manufacturers are working on hydrogen-ready appliances that can more seamlessly transition to 100% hydrogen gas.
Hot water system
The unit had a gas input rating of 70MJ/h and a hot water capacity of 10 litres per minute at a 25 degrees celcius rise.
Heating
A hydrogen powered hot water service powered a heat exchanger in the roof of HyHome. So the ducted heating in the home was running on hydrogen energy – paving the way for how we could warm your home.
Barbecue
Developed in conjunction with Woodside Energy, the Heatlie Hydrogen BBQ cooked the same as any other BBQ, using hydrogen as a fuel source an alternative to LPG or natural gas.
Cooktop
The concept hydrogen gas cooktop delivered swift and precise heat. With a sleek and modern design that exuded elegance, it was the epitome of premium and, when run on renewable hydrogen, eco-conscious living. It offered a refined and responsible cooking option for the discerning home chef.
