Baxi’s hydrogen boiler has been developed as part of its commitment to be a cleaner, greener manufacturing business.

Karen Boswell OBE, managing director of Baxi Heating, said: “As a leading player in the British heating and hot water industry we are determined to play our part in achieving the goal of being a net-zero economy.

“We are developing technologies that will help customers to heat their homes and businesses without warming the planet and hydrogen should play an important role as it produces no greenhouse gases at the point of use.

“I am very proud of this achievement,” she concludes.

Baxi’s Sustainability Pledge, launched last year, will ensure that every one of its products will work with low carbon energy by 2025.

Mike Foster, chief executive of EUA, said: “The 2021 Gas Awards have once again showcased the industry and those working within it. It is an industry that continued to move forward through a global pandemic. The gas industry provides inspiration and thought leadership to many, and is key to enabling the UK to hit its net zero target.”
