We will be arguing that hydrogen - especially that backed by the fossil fuel industry - is a non-solution. Earthjustice agrees: Hydrogen industry must clean itself up before expanding into new uses, report finds

Hydrogen industry must clean itself up before expanding into new uses, report finds

"The hype around hydrogen as a clean fuel has reached the point where it threatens funding for genuinely clean energy, according to a new report by the environmental legal group Earthjustice.

Roughly 75 million metric tons of hydrogen are now being produced annually in ways that contribute to the climate crisis rather than help solve it. If hydrogen backers in the oil and gas industry want to make the case that hydrogen is a climate solution, they should start by decarbonizing these production processes, the report says."
