Unsurprisingly, this is a wilful distortion of what’s happening in New Zealand. It also does nothing to advance the case for new oil and gas licences in the North Sea.
Here’s why:

BREAKING: The UK government just cancelled the controversial hydrogen for heating trial in Redcar.
Looks like game over for heating with hydrogen in the UK even though a definitive decision hasn't been made yet.

I was lucky enough to get invited onto the @TEDTalks stage to explain how our reliance on oil and gas is driving multiple crises, including a fuel poverty catastrophe in the UK, and how the movement against oil and gas expansion has never been stronger:

I'm in no position to say whether #Africa's economies should rely on #gas for dev-t (though always happy to share thoughts). But @TimmermansEU's argument that they can "monetize" their gas resources just doesn't stack up with the real economy. A short🧵1/6 https://t.co/88M7VOhnJ5
Entering #COP27 amid a global #GasCrisis, countries ask: what is the place for #gas in their economic and energy systems?
Follow E3G’s daily #GasFacts to learn how economies became reliant on gas, where it got them — and what the future may hold.

Hydrogen for heating is a distraction: inefficient, costly & resource-intensive. This is what ALL independent studies conclude.
My new peer-reviewed @Joule_CP paper reviews 32 independent studies. Not one suggests major role of hydrogen for heating.

The UK wants to trial hydrogen for home heating.
But a new investigation finds Fife's heating with hydrogen project is delayed. Ofgem warned: "delay in commencement would materially impact the evidence base for an energy system transition to hydrogen."

There is no #RenewableHydrogen without #RenewableElectricity.
Additionality ensures we build more renewables & decrease our reliance on imported #fossilfuels.
Amendments 13 & 14 delete all rules & create huge uncertainty. @Europarl_EN it's in your hands. Vote against.
The global energy crisis is hurting households, businesses & economies worldwide, and it’s important to separate fact from fiction
In my new op-ed for @FT, I highlight 3 claims in particular that are wrong – in some cases dangerously so
A short thread:

EU leaders 🇪🇺 must avoid long-term gas deals and invest in renewables to secure a fair and lasting transition away from fossil fuels for Europe and beyond, says Dr Khondaker Golam Moazzem ahead of today's Energy Council in Brussels.

This is it. The European Parliament didn’t have the strength to block the European Commission’s proposal to classify fossil gas as “green” in the #taxonomy, thus severely damaging the EU’s climate leadership. This is problematic on a lot of different fronts. A few reflections:🧵
Today, the Supreme Court not only reversed nearly 50 years of precedent, it relegated the most intensely personal decision someone can make to the whims of politicians and ideologues—attacking the essential freedoms of millions of Americans.
One of the few articles I've read that captures the reality of h2 exports. H2 uses a LOT of energy & shouldn't cannabilise a country's own decarbonisation
"Only 56% of the population has access to electricity–let alone support large-scale h2 production" https://t.co/E7CLWXoanj
If Russia continues shipping gas, the EU could meet its storage target by October, said Simone Tagliapietra, a senior energy researcher at the Bruegel think tank. But if Moscow turns off the taps, meeting the target will be "super challenging," he said.

1300 missiles that Russia launched into Ukrainian cities cost 7,7 billion euros. But at the same time - Europe sent 44 billion to Russia for fuel… We have blood on our hands. We are financing the war. We have to stop lying to ourselves - @Schwarzenegger
