A net zero trial for hydrogen heating has been called off for one of two sites after protests and public resistance from homeowners, with a Minister citing that there is “no strong local support” for the project.

The Department of Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) said on Tuesday that a trial will no longer take place in the Whitby area of Ellesmere Port, north west England.
