#UK poised to drop plans to replace home #gas #boilers with #hydrogen alternatives | #HydrogenPower | The Guardian

In my opinion, it was a silly idea to replace natural gas infrastructure with hydrogen burning, primarily because it is not produced in an environmentally friendly way and the current method pumps out lots of #GreenhouseGases and #Pollution, thus negating the supposed benefit of burning it. Better to heat houses with #HeatPumps powered from renewable sources.

#ScottishPower to build £150m #GreenHydrogen plant at Port of #Felixstowe | #HydrogenPower | The Guardian

There has been a big increase in the interest of the use of #HydrogenEnergy over the past few years but it is only meaning as a combat against #GreenhouseGases if it is produced using #RenewableEnergy. Most #Hydrogen currently is produced using #FossilFuels as so-called #BlueHydrogen which is a huge source of #Emissions of #CarbonDioxide.

#Oil firms made ‘false claims’ on blue #hydrogen costs, says ex-lobby boss | #HydrogenPower | The Guardian

So-called #BlueHydrogen is another scam that #FossilFuel #companies are promoting to carry on effectively as normal. H2 could potentially be extracted (more) sustainably but the infrastructure isn't there yet.
