ToRs for Review Study on the Role of Hydrogen Transitions in Cooking
- United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
From a user point of view, modern energy-based cooking includes the lower levels of kitchen emissions associated with higher tier solutions such as electricity, biogas, ethanol, briquettes, and even LPG. From a global point of view, Greenhouse gas emissions from the combustion of woodfuels for cooking is said account for 2% of global emissions, equivalent to those from the international aviation sector. However, 50% of black carbon emissions come from household woodfuel use and 27-34% of global woodfuel harvesting is defined as unsustainable. Over the last couple of years there has been a considerable expansion of interest in the role of hydrogen within the transition to a low carbon future.
To date there has been no comprehensive analysis of the technical feasibility of large-scale adoption of hydrogen for cooking (particularly green hydrogen), the availability of hydrogen-based appliances and their useability or the likely affordability of different approaches to the use of hydrogen for cooking.
MECS is seeking a consultant/s to conduct a review of the current and future potential of using hydrogen as a cooking fuel.
Proposals should be received no later than 23:59 BST on Tuesday 23rd August 2022.
