Webinar: Hydrogen Cooktops – understanding efficiency and NOx emissions
April 2, 2025
Wednesday 2 April, 10:30-11:15
As part of research project RP1.4-05, Fredrick Omoarukhe University of Adelaide completed his thesis on Parametric Studies on Thermal Efficiency and NOx Emissions of a Hydrogen-Fuelled Domestic Cooktop Burner. As the world transition towards cleaner energy solutions, hydrogen is being explored as potential alternative to natural gas. However, this shift raised several important questions in the context of a domestic gas cooktop:
- Can we use existing domestic gas cooktop burner designs for hydrogen combustion?
- Are there challenges when using hydrogen in conventional gas cooktop burners?
- To what extent can hydrogen be used before operational or performance issues emerge?
- What modifications or innovations are needed to enable 100% hydrogen use in domestic cooktops?
- If we develop a 100% hydrogen-fuelled cooktop burner, can we study what affect its performance? And are there any drawbacks?
- Will the performance of the cooktop appliance change when we transition from natural gas to hydrogen?
