Effect of hydrogen gas mixes on gas hob emissions
report
The EU is currently updating the Ecodesign legislation with regard to cooking appliances. It concerns Ecodesign Regulation EC No 66/2014 on domestic ovens, hobs and range hoods and the Energy Label Regulation EC No 65/2014 on
domestic ovens and range hoods. In parallel, the United Kingdom (UK) government is conducting a review of these same two regulations, as they are still applicable under UK law. These regulatory reviews present an opportunity to include requirements in both the EU and UK law that necessitate domestic appliances will not expose users to harmful levels of indoor air pollution. Research questions The main research questions to be answered in this study are:
What is the methane leakage during and in between use of gas hobs? What is the effect of adding hydrogen (H2) gas to natural gas on gas hob emissions? What is the difference with regard to emissions between boiling water on a
natural gas hob or with an electric hob?
