Hydrogène : ne tombons pas dans le piège
Summary
Friends of the Earth International asserts that all forms of hydrogen—regardless of their color classification—are costly and inefficient, serving as a distraction from necessary systemic changes to address the climate crisis. The document claims that hydrogen deployment primarily benefits the fossil fuel industry, specifically the gas sector, and risks perpetuating environmental and social destruction in places like Colombia and Mozambique.
Key insights
- The document argues that all types of hydrogen, regardless of the 'color' labels used to describe them, are expensive, inefficient, and fail to provide a low-carbon solution.
- Hydrogen is characterized as a 'false solution' and a 'dangerous distraction' promoted by the fossil fuel industry to maintain polluting activities and avoid the deep emission cuts required to fight the climate crisis.
- The promotion of hydrogen is seen as a way to strengthen the fossil gas industry, which the document links to global disasters, including hydraulic fracturing in Colombia and conflict and destruction in Mozambique.
