The best use for hydrogen is for industries that can lower their operating costs if supplied cheaper than current methods, like steel or fertilizers . I’m not a scientist, just a dummy that works in the heating and air conditioning trade, I haven’t heard anyone talk to furnace manufacturers about maintaining warranty or how much mixing in hydrogen will derate the furnace’s BTU output. Hydrogen in gas mains might be turbulent enough to not cause embrittlement but that wouldn’t apply at the appliance in your home, in most of California your only going to be heating your home 2-4 months of the year.
