Hydrogen Europe a lobby groups in the EU whose members include the fossil fuel giants Shell, Total and Equinor, has been putting pressure on the Eur. Commission to adopt sustainability standards for renewable hydrogen that risk turning this supposedly green fuel into a polluting one.They are pushing for loopholes in an EU law that would allow energy companies to use large amounts of fossil electricity to produce hydrogen, and still have it labelled as renewable. Global Witness is calling on the European Commission to adopt rules that ensure renewable hydrogen reduces carbon emissions. These must include strong requirements for additionality that come into effect immediately. https://www.globalwitness.org/en/campaigns/fossil-gas/greenwashed-hydrogen/ https://www.globalwitness.org/en/blog/why-blue-hydrogen-is-fossil-fuel-industry-greenwash-and-wont-fix-the-climate/
