Germany’s Bundestag approves the Hydrogen Acceleration Act, granting #hydrogen infrastructure “overriding public interest” status until 2045. Faster permits, support for green & #blueH2, and priority for import terminals

#LNG is another wolf in green clothing. America exports LNG produced from fracked gas to the UK which will likely find its way into the #BlueHydrogen supply chain. Upstream methane emissions are entirely ignored by the fossil fuel industry when it hypes 'low carbon' solutions like LNG and #BlueH2.

Black background, with two bright yellow horizontal banners. The top one has written in big bold black capital letters “Phase-out fossil fuels and their associated infrastructure”, and to the left of the banner is “1” in bright yellow. The bottom banner has written inside “Cut out fossil fuel interest out of our politics immediately!”, and to the left is a “2” in bright yellow. At the top right corner is written over white background Fossil Free Politics in black smaller characters.

Label #BlueH2 as 'clean’ means billions in new subsidies 4 #fossilfuel projects that exacerbate the #ClimateCrisis

⛔no to #False Solutions such as #CCS and #H2

🆗 we need #FossilFreePolitics, to deliver real solutions & bring carbon emissions down to #RealZero

Cartoon for CEO by Ralph. A person hugging a koala, a beaver, a mouse, a bird and hedgehog stand on a thing green cord (with the word regulation pointing at it) over a cliff between two mountains about to fall into abyss, a fox is already hunging from it. Big giant scissors are about to cut the green, the blurb reads DON'T WORRY I'S JUST A BIT OF REDTAPE! At the bottom “Regulation protects the things we care about - we need to keep it that way” CARTOONRALPH

Case in point: same #lobbies that want to label #blueH2 as clean, use the #deregulation 🚌 #Omnibus laws to roll back hard-won climate protections, such as the EU’s 2024 Methane Regulation.

⚠️ This could open the door for continued imports of highly polluting #LNG from fracked gas in the US

#BlueHydrogen is fossil-based, with CO2 captured w/ #CCS

Research shows that #blueH2 total ghg footprint can be 20% or even 50% worse 4 the planet than burning gas directly.

Fossil fuel lobbyists have for years lobbied to label #blueH2 as low carbon or clean.
