@W_Lucht @faket @EUCommission relative…

• Obviously the #EU has yet to go 100% renewables!
• The #externalization is due to #production cycles being moved overseas: I.e. all the #energy needed to make #Lithium batteries for #BEV is not spend in #Europe but the "P.R." #China, thus doesn't come up on it's balances.

Same for a lot of other #Resources and #Products:

• Very few #EnergyIntensive production cycles are #domestic in the EU (i.e. engineering- and medical grade metal alloys) and by tonnage they are miniscule in comparison to global mainstream products (i.e. standard/low grade steel and aluminium).
  • The products "#MadeInEU" are either "cutting edge" and/or
  • so highly spechalized that there ain't much of competitiors (i.e. aerospace parts) or
  • artificially kept local due to import tariffs and/or subsidies (i.e. farming & #automotive) or
  • too expensive to outsorce due to low volumetric product value and/or high shipoing costs (i.e. [toilet] paper) or
  • politically undesired to be externalized (i.e. military / defense) or
• domestic nieche demand productsvwith too little demand for external producers to try to distrupt ( i.e. #PersonalLightVehicles)…

#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.
