It is not a big jump to residential, it just takes a commitment. That's the problem with all of the new technologies. Almost to many to choose from. I have seen this used in a commercial environment.

The absolutely cool thing about this house is how modular its power aquisition is. Right now the main source of electricity is Gas/power line, but in the future, let's say a different gas/liquid becomes the "Bog Standard", all you need is a different converter in the shed, a much more simple architecture, than digging around the house to replace many more connectors/pipings/stoves to make the transition. If the future has hydrogen as the standard, well you wouldn't need a converter anymore, would ya? @GGTD. The absolutely cool thing about this house is how modular its power aquisition is.

"Bog standard" is a Brit English way of saying "normal", "pedestrian". Re the fuell cell type -- I'll have to check and come back to you on that. Adam @ WTTW,

regarding the gas — it’s just natural gas. “Bog standard” is a Brit English way of saying “normal”, “pedestrian”.

Re the fuell cell type — I’ll have to check and come back to you on that.

First, I'm unclear about bog-standard natural gas? Do bogs create natural gas? Is the bog nearby? What type of fuel cell is it? That sounds like a rather large one, so it's not likely a PEM which requires pure hydrogen anyway. Is it solid oxide? If so, I think they also cogenerate heat. Ariel,
