WORLD FIRST
100% HYDROGEN WATER HEATER
Rinnai engineers in Japan have been busy developing technology that’s truly ahead of its time. Taking another step on the journey towards a more renewable future, they’ve created the world’s first fully engineered hydrogen hot water heater that produces 0% carbon emissions.
Rinnai New Zealand Managing Director Ray Ferner says the hydrogen concept model is a game-changer. “While there is further work to be done, this is a critical step towards a zero net carbon future and the start of bringing to market proven household gas appliances that can run on totally renewable gas.”
It also means Rinnai will be ready to offer continuous hot water systems for homes and businesses as soon as the New Zealand hydrogen market and regulations are established.
Even though we won’t see 100% hydrogen water heaters inside our homes just yet, the potential of this new technology—and what it means for the future of the industry—can’t be underestimated.
