Heat pumps or hydrogen boilers? The 2026 decision that could shape Britain’s net zero future

With a pivotal UK government policy decision on the role of hydrogen in home heating expected in 2026, Britain finds itself at a strategic crossroads. At stake is more than the replacement of one household appliance with another. The choice between rolling out heat pumps or hydrogen boilers at scale will determine the size, cost and complexity of the entire upstream energy system required to meet the nation’s net zero target, write Cranfield University Energy Bridge Researcher Lin Gao and Visiting Lecturer Philip Naylor.
