Let's get this clear: you are all anti-hydrogen campaigners

Including Jesse Jenkins who has promoted #shale extensively in the past, and now campaigns fiercely to block hydrogen via the vacuous and nonsensical 'three pillars' rules which effectively double the price of hydrogen for a decade

Yeah, it's not the main component of the energy transition - already replacing coal for steel & soon everything else
March 1, 2025 at 2:36 PM
You mean, how do we block hydrogen & sink the energy transition - before it's too late?

With *one* single mention of hydrogen throughout the entire paper, I think it's pretty clear which side of the fence you stand
March 1, 2025 at 2:29 PM
The anti-hydrogen lobby is feeling the heat. There isn't even an abstract!

Only *one* singular mention of hydrogen throughout the entire text - as if it wasn't the central component of EU policy to net zero

Germany could import up to 100 TWh of green hydrogen via pipelines by 2035, study shows
Germany could cover up to 100 terawatt-hours (TWh) of its annual energy needs with imports of green hydrogen via pipelines from neighbouring countries by the mid-2030s, covering a significant share of its projected demand, a study showed on Thursday.

Not to tempt fate, but discussing how unhinged the finance sector is vital. It is #shareholders fuelling the climate crisis, not anyone else - they profit from the status quo and will not concede to a long term perspective on climate - they are only in it for immediate profit. Monetary policy etc

I think he is talking about a financial crisis. For example, if the banking system collapses, and cannot be
'bailed out', then insurance won't cover most large transactions, and therefore the scope of banks and the financial industry is very limited. Scary. danielrwilliams.medium.com/financing-th...

Because of course shifting to the only zero emissions fuel type might actually be worse for the climate than natural gas? And you expect people to take CICERO seriously? LOL
January 14, 2025 at 8:12 AM
And [CICERO] is not funded by Norwegian oil and gas shareholders? And their profits are not threatened by #hydrogen; for transport (trucks, aviation, shipping, rail etc), industry, or indeed the entire gas grid - which will spell the end of the FF monopoly? danielrwilliams.medium.com/policy-group...

Hydrogen replaces shale
January 14, 2025 at 1:22 AM
Keep burning shale. Start a few wars. 'Occupy Mars'. Etc.

Every EU member state has criticised the rules, and now even the IEA has criticised them. If #electrolysis is not grid connected, it cannot balance the grid - which is the primary function of electrolysis within a mostly VRE-based grid

EXCLUSIVE | IEA criticises EU green hydrogen rules on additionality, time matching and geographic correlation
International Energy Agency says such requirements — also planned in the US — risk impeding industry development and should be applied ‘cautiously’

He lobbies for the same 'rules' that lobbyists want to apply in the EU; which basically double the price of hydrogen despite OECD grids guaranteed to be carbon-zero within 10yrs. They make no sense - never applied to battery imports, fracking, mining etc

#threepillars #additionality #delegatedacts
January 1, 2025 at 11:26 PM
No, he is a #shale advocate, working with thebreakthrough.org to promote fracked gas within the climate community. Why ban tax credits to electrolysis when the grid will decarbonise in 10 years? Makes absolutely no sense to kill off the industry

He promotes shale, and lobbies against hydrogen

It's been over 840 days since the IRA #hydrogen subsidies were announced - still being blocked by lobbyists like Jesse Jenkins bsky.app/profile/stet...
Jesse Jenkins promotes #hydrofracturing & applauds the tax credits for #shale, yet emissions from electrolysis using the regular US grid are too high to endorse the $3/kg tax credit pledged..

Hydrogen doesn't emit GHGs when converted to usable energy; even via gas turbines or most engines the NOx emissions are in the ppm territory
