Toyota builds experimental hydrogen-powered pizza oven - Autoblog
www.autoblog.com
Toyota worked with Japanese appliance brand Rinnai to make a hydrogen-powered pizza oven, and it also developed a hydrogen-burning barbecue.

I wish I got to do fun little projects like this at my job. Anyway, this proof of concept shows that hydrogen would be a great alternative to propane and natural gas for cooking. Hat tip to @hypx@mastodon.social.

    Noone here is planning to inject hydrogen into existing pipelines. If anything, synthesising methane during the transition so that consumers only have to switch their burners once, from nat gas to hydrogen, and not first to nat gas + more hydrogen and then to pure hydrogen. Gotta switch whole municipalities at once doesn’t make sense to duplicate the last-mile gas pipes. If, and that’s not even clear yet, hydrogen pipes will even be a thing for private consumers.

      Ok. Not you. But lots of people elsewhere in this thread.

      Agree. Burning hydrogen has to be done carefully to avoid NOx and other side effects.

      And that’s not even clear yet, hydrogen pipes will even be a thing for private consumers.

      Agreed.

      Industrial green hydrogen is a necessity to remove fossil fuels. Residential hydrogen I am very sceptical about. Even 100% clean fuel cells burn too hot for domestic heating.
