Hey
Here's your answer!!

Although hydrogen has the highest calorific value, it is not used as a domestic fuel.

It is because hydrogen is a highly combustible and it reacts explosively when it comes in contact with air.

And hence as a result, storing of the hydrogen gas is difficult and is dangerous at the same time. So, even though hydrogen has the highest calorific value, it is not used as a domestic fuel.

Hope it helps!!

Hydrogen has very high calorific value and gives out a lot of heat and energy.

This amount of energy is too much for domestic use which does not require much energy and therefore would be of waste. Moreover hydrogen in its gaseous state is also difficult to handle . Due to all of these reasons Hydrogen is not used as a domestic fuel.

HOPE IT HELPS !!!
