    Hi Charles,

    On 2020-11-18 06:49:40, you wrote to me:

    Maybe it is something just for industry, not homes.
    Almost every home is connected to the gas network. So it certainly
    would be for home too! But realizing this is a long way in the
    future, probably decades...

    From what I've read so far, it will take a lot of work to change over.

    Probably, hydrogen gas differs a lot from natural gas...


    Bye, Wilfred.

    I did read metal pipes would corrode quicker with hydrogen.

    Possibly. What also might be a factor is the plastic pipes they
    use these days. They might be more porous to hydrogen, because H2
    is probably a smaller molecule, compared to natural gas.

    That's true. Although I did see something about polyethylene pipes working well.
