Reply to Question: can hydrogen replace gas piped to homes for cooking and heating? by BW6611
For cooking, induction stove tops are taking over which avoids toxic gases and uses less power. Plain hydrogen is not a good choice because it makes metals brittle and very easily leaks. If something like that was really needed ammonia would be semi-practical but the writing is on the wall now and everything energy in homes of the future will be electricity/batteries, if only because the cost of solar is dropping so quickly.
