In the light of plans to stop new gas or oil boilers being fitted after

I must admit the thought has crossed my mind€¦

Im assuming that only professional installs can be banned.
A non-professional gas installation voids your household insurance.
There was a spectacular one went bang round here about a decade ago.
The burnt out remains of the house sat unloved for years afterwards.
Boilers that can be converted to using hydrogen are to be exempt.
Persuading hydrogen to stay inside the existing gas distribution pipes
is going to be interesting (Chinese usage).
Maybe use Ammonia.Â* Easy leak detection.
Currently the production of ammonia is very energy intensive.
https://ammoniaindustry.com/ammonia-...ghg-emissions/
"Ammonia production causes 1% of total global GHG emissions"
and
"North American producers emit, on average, 2.129 tons CO2 per ton NH3
produced. North American producers emit more CO2 per ton ammonia than
most but, on the other hand, Chinese producers emit, on average, 4.429
tons CO2 per ton NH3 produced. Again, this data relates to 2010."
I really can't see it happening as a serious fuel.
