@mongabay Thanks for this thorough report! Anyone claiming to be #carbonneutral is relying on #carbonoffsetting, that is the very definition of the term, which should be banned entirely, given it assumes somehow #carbonremoval is a real thing. As for the principle of #additionality (or for that matter, complete lack of in in 99% of the schemes), John Oliver is my go-to. Simple, fast, #factchecked & hilarious skit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6p8zAbFKpW0

EU’s hydrogen economy struggles to pick up pace

Demand for renewable hydrogen in Europe is expected to hit 8.5 million tonnes by 2030, far below the EU's plan

EURACTIV

The EU is putting in place a regulatory framework to support our #hydrogenmarket. @IRENA’s recent report on #smartelectrification highlights many of our policies to support #additionality, hydrogen certification & interaction between #electricitymarketdesign & #renewablehydrogen.

@JohanEmpa if you advocate for #carbonremoval, please advocate for #additionality and understand #mitigation deterrence. Please also keep yourself actively informed with voices that are critical of #carbon removal. Here is an accessible sketch by British comedian #johnoliver that should make clear what some of the main problems are. That should give you tools to dive into the data. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6p8zAbFKpW0

@JohanEmpa I know you are a keen advocate of #carbonremoval, but I beg you walk the fine line between doing your best with what is available (aka #greenserver, #treeplanting) and promoting the belief that buying #greencredits or paying into #carbonoffsets will actually REMOVE carbon from the atmosphere. It wont'. #Additionality is barely alive, in fact I'd argue it's long dead. #reduceemissions first, aka #stopflying.
