#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. corporateeurope.org/en/dirty-tru...

🪄 Emissions accounting tricks by #Basf #ArcelorMittal #Yara #E.ON & other Oil&Gas + #EnergyIntensive polluters 🎩 by simply removing from emission calculations what makes it so damaging for the climate (methane leakage) #Methane heats the atmosphere over 80 times more than Co2 the first 20 y

Low carbon #H2 delegated act is part of a broader agenda of #competititeveness & #deregulation pushed by industry, now 🇪🇺 priority n1 ☠️Risks a domino effect w/ huge negative impacts on climate, env, social, econ justice & #democracy. 🏭 #CleanIndustriaDeal, a #DirtyDeal by polluters 4 polluters
