.@EurostarUK I arrive 27 mins before the train from Brussels and am denied boarding as a Carte Blanche holder. No queues just jobsworth staff enforcing inflexible rules. Your customer service is non existent.

[Greg Archer @GregGtarcher]

.@EurostarUK sell through tickets to Pau but when the French leg of the trip is cancelled refuse to reimburse either London-Paris or Paris-Pau. Rip-off and GBP 400 down the drain - like your reputation ... @LouHaigh @SimonCalder @CBTransport

[Greg Archer @GregGtarcher]

Great that the Sustainable Aviation Fuel (Revenue Support Mechanism) Bill is in the #KingSpeech & the 10% SAF Mandate for 2030 confirmed. @LanzaTech remains committed to building Project Dragon in Port Talbot - now we need the legislation passed quickly @LouHaigh @transportgovuk

[LanzaTech Global @LanzaTech]

Wonderful news from the Lanza family! With @LanzaJet we are providing a joint waste carbon-to-SAF solution in partnership with @HaffnerEnergy!

#SAF #CCU #CCUS $LNZA

[Greg Archer @GregGtarcher]

@ClimateBeard #Aviation CO2 emissions would be higher WITHOUT the SAF Mandate which also reduces non-CO2 emissions. It creates a market for PtL and waste-based SAF and manages risks from over-reliance on UCO. It's not perfect but a good start! More balance needed @CarbonBrief. @LanzaTech

[Greg Archer @GregGtarcher]

.@HPUK probably the worst customer service in the UK. Take 3 weeks to send a faulty new laptop and the replacement is faulty too! Your solution, send it back and we'll return it in another 3 weeks! Not good enough! E for effort F for attainment. Surely you can do better?

[Greg Archer @GregGtarcher]

.@thriftycars overbooking so when I arrive at 2330 in Atlanta my reservation cannot be met. If this is how you treat customers I won’t be one again

@LanzaTech has submitted its planning application to build a #SAF production facility in #PortTalbot. Now we just need the legislation laid in Parliament to unlock investment and #greener #aviation @transportgovuk @AnthonyBrowneMP https://t.co/r7sXTs64nm

Oops...UK slips in EY ranking of best countries for green investment

US, Germany, France ahead

Due to “diminishing of green policies” that leave "investors with reduced confidence in UK renewables”👀

No shock US leads race with Inflation Reduction Act

Sort of ironic that Fortescue along with fellow Australian mining giants Rio Tinto and BHP have concluded hydrogen is too inefficient and costly to replace diesel off road mining vehicles, choosing battery electric instead.
They have concluded that energy efficiency is a key reason for this decision, with direct electrification having an 80% fuel-to-wheel efficiency compared to 30% efficiency from hydrogen fuel cells
Why ironic? Unless I am mistaken, JCB plans to power its combustion diggers with Australian hydrogen supplied and heavily promoted by.. Fortescue

@adamvaughan_uk For production of sustainable aviation fuel @transportgovuk continue to insist on an "industry-led" fund. Why is CFD right for wind, H2 and GHG removals and not SAF @CharlotteV? @hmtreasury ? https://t.co/6FCx1NHS7U. @LanzaTech

[Matt Henry @DrJustFutures]

A hilarious explainer for why carbon offsets are, in fact, a ridiculous form of greenwashing.

[Greg Archer @GregGtarcher]

@ClimateBeard ECF funded @transenv to lobby for SAF & specifically energy intensive #P2L targets. Was this a mistake? Would you rather we continue to only use fossil jet fuel?

[Greg Archer @GregGtarcher]

@ClimateBeard There are no silver bullets for #defossilising #aviation, but using solid waste or industrial off-gases requires neither land nor vast amounts of renewable energy as @LanzaTech is doing in Wales https://t.co/iB4UFsnPkQ

[Greg Archer @GregGtarcher]

@ClimateBeard Is it worse than burning fossil fuels even when it emits half the level of CO2 and produces much lower non-CO2 effects? Undoubtedly not perfect - but bad?

[Greg Archer @GregGtarcher]

.@LanzaTech is engaging with local stakeholders ahead of our planning applications for facilities to turn industrial waste gases into sustainable aviation fuel in and around #PortTalbot https://t.co/98HKOS4G8J

'Out site will place Port Talbot at the forefront of these innovations'

Plans for a sustainable jet fuel production site at Port Talbot have been revealed after the government awarded £25m towards its development.

@LanzaTech

[Greg Archer @GregGtarcher]

.@LanzaTech have announced plans for Wales’ first Sustainable Aviation Fuel production in Port Talbot. @transportgovuk @NPTCouncil @CharlotteV @grantshapps https://t.co/neuBnnnpnI
