Project description:

Gradient Thermal is one of the projects selected as part of the Hydrogen Center of Excellence – Advancing Hydrogen Competition 2. This project advances a residential heating appliance fueled by 100% hydrogen, designed for North American homes. Gradient’s current syncFURNACE will be converted from natural gas to hydrogen via advancements from this project to meet safety and performance criteria and regulations. If successful, the products will be manufactured and distributed from Alberta to meet global demand for hydrogen fueled home heating in a combined furnace-plus-water heater.
