The long and costly @LpoolCityRegion hydrogen buses saga is coming to an end, but not before more public money is spent on converting the mothballed H₂ buses to electric. @MetroMayorSteve believed the #HydrogenHype when it was clear #TheFutureIsElectric ⚡route-one.net/news/liverpool…

CCS is a proven failure. Watch this @FranceTVLondres segment about the dangers of carbon capture and other false solutions in the North Sea.

Why is @ManMetUni top of the league? It hosted @HyNetNW at a careers event this year. HyNet will produce dirty #BlueHydrogen, dump millions of tonnes of carbon dioxide under #LiverpoolBay and is backed by @EETFuels, @CadentGasLtd and @eni.
What's going on @peopleandplanet?

Despite hosting the fossil fuel industry at a careers event this year, @peopleandplanet awarded @WrexhamUni joint 1st in its #EthicalCareers University League. @ManMetUni ranked joint 26th and @LJMU joint 51st. All three should be relegated.
So much for #FossilFreeCareers 🙄

As if one #CCS carbon dioxide pipeline isn't enough, our region will now have two. @peak_cluster plans to run a 125 mile CO₂ exhaust pipe through #Derbyshire, #Staffordshire, #Cheshire and #Wirral so the cement industry can carry on with business as usual.wirralglobe.co.uk/news/25677…

Permission has been granted for @HyNetNW to install a cable under #TalacreBeach and #GronantDunes in #NorthWales. The #SSSI is home to rare protected #SandLizards, #NatterjackToads and #GreatCrestedNewts and is a vital breeding ground for #LittleTerns 🧵

Fossil fuel giant @bp_plc has pulled the plug on its #H2Teesside #BlueHydrogen scheme citing a "material change in circumstances" after the site landowners sought permission to build a datacentre instead.
Oh dear, how sad, never mind. One down, one to go!

While @EETFuels (@Essar Energy Transition) keeps on crowing about #TransformingForTomorrow and #Sustainability, it keeps on expanding its consumer network. The #BlueHydrogen it'll produce at #Stanlow will power its refinery so it can sell more fossil fuels in a climate crisis.
Another week, another addition to the Essar-branded forecourt network.
This week, we announce the opening of Tower service station in Hastings.

Ahead of the budget next week, we're calling on @RachelReevesMP to #StopFundingCCS. The £22billion black hole in public finances could be filled by taking back the £22billion of public money being handed to @HyNetNW and @NetZeroTeesside.

Excellent work by @Recommon exposing the government funded #BlueHydrogen and #CCS scam being peddled by @HyNetNW, @eethub and @eni at #Stanlow. CCS is dangerous, expensive, energy intensive and unproven at scale. Shout out to @CThomasMS.

Heads up @EETFuels. Hydrogen makes sense in a few industrial applications and very little else. Refining crude isn't one of them. @HyNetNW is critically flawed because its key application is refining climate wrecking fossil fuels and prolonging their use.

Here's @EETFuels driving the low carbon #EnergyTransition by recommissioning a 100,000m³ crude oil storage tank to maximise capacity at its #Stanlow #LowCarbonRefinery. Yes, you read that right.
The fossil fuel industry is #Greenwashing the piss out of the public and the planet.
Stanlow Terminals is driving the UK’s low-carbon future. Following a successful turnaround, we’ve launched a bold infrastructure & innovation programme to accelerate the shift to low-carbon fuels. #EnergyTransition #LowCarbon #biofuels

Here's @EETFuels pushing its gas to hydrogen #Greenwash at a sustainability event. @weezegee said "we can't wait for perfect technologies". We can't afford to use the wrong technologies either. The only thing #BlueHydrogen and #CCS are sustaining is the fossil fuel industry.
Inspiring afternoon at the West Cheshire Action on Climate and Nature event. Great talks from Charlotte Harris @CheshireWT , Cllr Louise Gittins & Roger Goulding. At EET, we’re investing in low-carbon energy for a more sustainable Cheshire.

Plans for a gas pipeline to supply #Stanlow as part of the @HyNetNW #BlueHydrogen scheme have been pulled because the pipeline route needs to be altered. Building new fossil fuel infrastructure to produce dirty blue H₂ in a climate crisis is totally crazy.chesterstandard.co.uk/news/2…

New analysis by @InfluenceMap has found that #BigOil majors have systematically lobbied the government to adopt a costly and emissions intensive energy policy agenda dependent on #CarbonCaptureAndStorage and the continued reliance on fossil fuels.

The government is exploring plans by @Climeworks for a #DirectAirCapture facility as part of @HyNetNW. The #DAC process is expensive and energy intensive and Climeworks has faced significant criticism due to its technology failing to meet capture targets.

Octopus boss @g__j says the government should #StopFundingCCS for energy systems because it's "a gift to the oil and gas industry to carry on what its doing, and carry on the fiction that enormous amounts of public money should enable it to keep doing it".

#CCS is a fanciful technofix which lacks a credible track record. Schemes like @HyNetNW will impose unlimited financial liabilities and huge environmental costs on the UK and help dirty energy to sideline renewables. The government must #StopFundingCCS now.theecologist.org/2025/sep/05…

The fracking moratorium only covers injecting shale with large fluid volumes. Plans have been submitted to frack with small fluid volumes at #WestNewton in #EastYorkshire and #Burniston in #NorthYorkshire.
Tell the government to ban small-scale fracking 👇petition.parliament.uk/petit…
