"The most climate-effective hydrogen applications include steel-making, biofuels and ammonia, while hydrogen use for road transport, power generation and domestic heating should be discouraged as more favourable alternatives exist."

Aan vooravond van COP30 in Brazilië de CO2-eq. emissie per inwoner volgens de UN.
Rusland is nu koploper. China scoort veel hoger dan EU; vooral door hun kolenaandeel, tevens omdat EU veel productie naar China heeft verplaatst. EU noteert dat als 'klimaatwinst'.

Some places in Jamaica will receive more rainfall from hurricane Melissa than London or Paris receives in a year!
It’s noteworthy that scientists and technicians from NOAA’s National Hurricane Center who are tracking the storm are not being paid because of the Republican government shutdown.

The EU still relies heavily on imported fossil fuels in most sectors.
This does not have to be the case – the EU power sector has relatively low fossil reliance – just 19%.
Electrification can increase EU energy security with homegrown wind and solar.
