Help raise £30000 to stop Liverpool Bay becoming a CO2 dumping ground – JustGiving Crowdfunding

Heads up #EETFuels. Hydrogen makes sense in a few industrial applications and very little else. Refining crude isn't one of them. #HyNet is critically flawed because its key application is refining climate wrecking fossil fuels and prolonging their use.

Plans for a gas pipeline to supply #Stanlow as part of the #HyNetNW #BlueHydrogen scheme have been pulled because the pipeline route needs to be altered. Building new fossil fuel infrastructure to produce dirty blue H₂ in a climate crisis is totally crazy.
