Posicionamiento: No nos dejemos engañar por el frenesí por la energía del hidrógeno
Summary
Friends of the Earth International argues that hydrogen energy is a 'false solution' promoted by the fossil fuel industry to maintain profits and distract from the urgent need for deep emission reductions. The organization asserts that hydrogen production is costly, inefficient, and supports the fossil gas industry, which it links to environmental and social destruction.
Key insights
- Hydrogen energy is presented as a clean alternative to fossil fuels, but Friends of the Earth International claims that all types of hydrogen production are expensive, inefficient, and fail to provide a low-carbon solution.
- The promotion of hydrogen is viewed as a strategy by the fossil fuel industry to secure continued profits and divert attention from the necessary deep and urgent emission reductions required to address the climate crisis.
- Hydrogen energy supports the fossil gas industry, which the document associates with disastrous global impacts, specifically citing hydraulic fracturing in Colombia and conflict and destruction in Mozambique.
