🚨Behind the hype, this hydrogen push will actually lead to higher CO2 emissions

⛔It’s not because you put the word green in front of #Hydrogen that it becomes climate friendly

We found that:

❌100+ German businesses are key players for #GreenHydrogen and many of them have ties to the fossil fuel industry, jumping on the hydrogen bandwagon to lock in harmful infrastructure & production models.

@AlGore let's #KickBigPollutersOut of the UN climate talks

The pressure is building to ban access for lobbyists representing Russian energy companies.

Good.

Lobbying for the Kremlin, for its rich cronies, and its energy corporations like Gazprom has been big business in Brussels.

It is time to stop it 👉 corporateeurope.org/en/2022/03/ukr…
But this is not just about the Putin regime.

PR and lobby consultancies have long been employed by repressive regimes & the companies close to them.

And they enjoy easy access & influence in Brussels.

EU & national decision-makers need to cut them off! corporateeurope.org/en/2022/03/ukr…
Europe’s dependence on Russian gas is not an accident but a consequence of how the fossil fuel industry has captured EU decision-making.

We need to keep the keep the #gaslobby out of decision making #FossilFreePolitics

[LEAK] The latest acknowledgement of the damaging impact of #fossilfuel industry lobbying comes from the #IPCC, which reviews all the scientific literature to provide guidance for the UN and governments.

Want to know what their new leaked draft report says?

L’Europe veut mettre notre argent dans les énergies fossiles! Aujourd’hui nous votons sur les investissements dans les infrastructures énergétiques. Techno? Simple: va-t-on mettre notre argent ou pas dans la poche des pollueurs.#THREAD #climat #zerofossile
Fera-t-on bien le #GreenDeal pour protéger le #climat?! Selon deux rapports de Corporate Europe Observatory @corporateeurope , c’est mal parti : les fossiles ont encore toutes leurs entrées au royaume de la Commission européenne! Exemples.
corporateeurope.org/en/a-grey-deal
Les principaux commissaires en charge du #EUGreenDeal #GreenDeal les ont rencontré 151 fois, soit 11 rencontres par semaine ! Et seulement 29 fois avec des représentants de l’intérêt général. Où est la #FossilFreePolitics ?!
