Hydrogène : ne tombons pas dans le piège
Summary
A position statement by Friends of the Earth International arguing that hydrogen is a 'false solution' promoted by the fossil fuel industry to avoid urgent emission reductions and maintain polluting activities.
Key insights
- Friends of the Earth International asserts that all forms of hydrogen—regardless of the color classification (grey, pink, or green)—are inefficient, expensive, and fail to provide a low-carbon solution for the energy transition.
- The document claims that hydrogen serves as a distraction from necessary deep emission cuts and is promoted by the fossil fuel industry to justify the continuation of polluting practices.
- The promotion of hydrogen is seen as a means to strengthen the fossil fuel industry, specifically the fossil gas sector, which the author links to global disasters such as hydraulic fracturing in Colombia and conflict in Mozambique.
