🚨 Read our new report on #hydrogen 🚨
🔴 It shows how it is being used as a Trojan horse to prolong the use of #FossilFuels
✊The EU must scrap its unrealistic H2 targets and increase investment in energy efficiency and just renewables

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.

Curiosidades de la Europa neoliberal: la Comisión Europea dice al canciller alemán Olaf Scholz que no reviva el fantasma del #TTIP (Tratado Transatlántico de Comercio e Inversiones que los movimientos sociales conseguimos descarrilar). #EUTrade politico.eu/article/europe…
1. Un portavoz del gobierno alemán sugirió esta semana que la UE reanude las negociaciones comerciales con el gobierno de Estados Unidos en un intento de resolver las crecientes tensiones en torno a las políticas "Buy American" del Presidente Joe Biden. politico.eu/article/german…
2. El gobierno alemán ha expresado su deseo de que unas negociaciones comerciales puedan ayudar a resolver las crecientes tensiones sobre la Ley de Reducción de la Inflación de Estados Unidos, que Berlín y París consideran que "distorsiona la competencia". eldiario.es/economia/ue-pr…
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.

In 🇮🇹 spending on hydrogen ⬆️300% between drafts thanks to fossil fuel #lobbying for 'blue' fossil #hydrogen - before the Commission reined it in. Fossil hydrogen projects are still expected to be funded through an 🇮🇹 'complementary fund'

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 ?!
