Viking, in partnership with Florida State University, has succesfully modified a gas range to safely burn hydrogen, which is more efficient and burns cleanly, emitting only water vapor and heat.
The hydrogen range is part of a $575,000 Off-Grid, Zero Emissions Building — OGZEB — project. Its mission is to test potential solutions to the world’s energy and climate change problems by combining old tricks with cutting-edge technology.
Dedicated in August, the building has a couple of small offices, but most of the interior, including an expansive living-dining-kitchen area, is strictly residential. Graduate students, staff members and VIPs will take turns living there to give old and emerging technologies a real-world tryout.
