XR Nijmegen has protested yesterday at the citiy council meeting against plans to grant energy firm ENGIE to construct a new gas power plant at the outskirts of the city. ENGIE says the plant will be powered with so called green hydrogen.
While green hydrogen is a highly inefficient energy storage medium as such, the power plant can be used with fossil gas (often euphemistically called 'natural' gas) as well. Activists fear that this a greenwashing scheme of ENGIE that allows to construct yet new fossil fuelled infrastructure in the midst of the looming #climatecatastophy.
