GoodbyeHydrogen

Non-scientific musings (ok, so mostly retweets) on the absurdity of hydrogen for home heating.

Just leaving this here.

@elonmusk This is a hilarious thread. None of you has a clue about the UK, its people or its politics.

"All car manufacturers complied with ZEV mandate last year to escape government fines"

Turns out that the car industry's claims that it was really struggling, that were duly reported repeatedly by large sections of the press, weren't entirely accurate

⚡ What does the ZEV Mandate mean for EV drivers?

Join us this Wednesday at 12.30pm for an exclusive members-only Town Hall, where our expert panel will break down the ZEV mandate, why it matters and how you can play a part in shaping the EV transition.

@Go_CheshireWest This is rich coming from CWaC which is set to approve plans by @EssarUK to build a #BlueHydrogen production plant as part of @HyNetNW. Blue H2 has a GHG footprint 20% bigger than gas, so to help the planet and help the borough cut its carbon emissions, councillors should vote NO.

[Euan McTurk @106Euan]

Funny how this head of a gas & boiler alliance tries to muddy the waters around heat pumps with this question that conveniently ignores the fact that cold Nordic countries have the highest heat pump uptake in Europe.

Tell us how well hydrogen heated your home last winter, Mike.

[Clem Cowton @ClemCowton]

Wowee…

“the total cost of hydrogen heating comes out as £385bn more expensive than a system using heat pumps.”

😱

[HyNot @HyNotNW]

A hydrogen lobby group which represents the UK's major gas firms is 25% owned by JCB heir and H2 investor Jo Bamford. Beyond2050 is registered at the same address as Bamford's @ryzehydrogen but keeps quiet about its connection to Bamford and Ryze. Hmmmmm 🤔https://t.co/Xin95wmEmu

As @MLiebreich has repeatedly warned, currently hydrogen is not really a low carbon industry at all. Low carbon hydrogen has a critical role to play in the net zero transition, but a hell of a lot of progress is needed very, very quickly.

[James Murray @James_BG]

Important warning from @IEA that government's hydrogen plans are not yet backed by the policies needed to turn a growing low carbon project pipeline into actual production capacity. https://t.co/AHRrVgSzP5

Death by a thousand cuts ⁦@MLiebreich⁩ https://t.co/zSZ5ZWcaEN

[HyNot @HyNotNW]

Where to start with this fuckwittery? The UK currently produces 28GW of wind energy. Blowing all 28GW, plus another magical 12GW, to make hydrogen using an energy intensive process is absurd when homes could just use super efficient heat pumps. WTF are you smoking @CadentGasLtd?

[Michael Liebreich - @MLiebreich.bsky.social @MLiebreich]

It is now 44-0 against any meaningful role for #hydrogen in heating. Out must surely be time to start a grown-up discussion about decommissioning the gas distribution network, not burdening future generations with costs that will have to be written off.

[GoodbyeHydrogen @GoodbyeHydrogen]

Well said @MLiebreich 👏👏

[Michael Liebreich - @MLiebreich.bsky.social @MLiebreich]

The Telegraph has gone absolutely heat pump tonto. When you replace editorial judgement with algorithmic outrage-farming, you end up making a total fool of yourself. For the record, heat pumps work, and the UK has several world-leading manufacturers. https://t.co/ZbzuoB1ivT

Heat pumps twice as efficient as fossil fuel systems in cold weather, study finds https://t.co/F6Bnpmvloh

[GoodbyeHydrogen @GoodbyeHydrogen]

Should have gone #battery #electric @MetroMayorSteve 😉

[HyNot @HyNotNW]

#HydrogenBus cheerleader @MetroMayorSteve is having a mare. Liverpool's expensive fleet is garaged due to H2 supply issues, and now a study has found that hydrogen buses cost twice as much to run compared to electric buses. Get off the hydrogen bus Steve 🚌https://t.co/Qjm2RG47sm

[Richard Lowes @heatpolicyrich]

While the UK boiler manufacturers are making disingenuous claims as part of their lobbying campaign against heat pump support policies which could also help them, have just reviewed a paper showing the French air to water HP market is 5x larger than UK.

[HyNot @HyNotNW]

The government has binned its proposal for a yearly £120 levy on household energy bills to fund hydrogen subsidies. But gas network operators will be able to pass on the charge to consumers to finance the #BlueHydrogen and #CCS fossil fuel industry scam.

https://t.co/JlbEg4AYET

[HyNot @HyNotNW]

Oops! @HyNetNW and other hydrogen lobbyists in our region are influencing politicians like @MetroMayorSteve and causing them to make bad decisions. Electric buses are a thing but the suits believed the #HydrogenHype being pushed by the fossil fuel industry.https://t.co/CbNX5CweCo

"Our heat pump heats our home better than our boiler ever did."

Heat pumps are becoming the UK's go-to home heating solution. Find out how our customer Aaron's transformed his home (and bills) with a heat pump, solar, and battery combo from Octopus 👇🔋🌞 https://t.co/rUERM96ESp
