20% of gas grid is a massive storage opportunity to exploit unused off peak wind and solar production. No brained really.....
Fossil fuel lobby has deep pockets and soon to be redundant Tory decision makers know which side their bread is buttered.......

Whereas in Germany they are being mandated it seems:

We operated these safely in the last century when town gas was c50% hydrogen. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jul/13/uk-poised-to-drop-plans-for-hydrogen-to-replace-natural-gas-in-homes

Wind power got off to a very bumpy start - remember what happened to Vestas. Then when the knockers were finally defeated, the growth was exponential. I think there will be a similar pattern with hydrogen. It all seems glaringly obvious but its human nature to 'know better' and resist change.

Is it that easy or somewhat fishy?

I looked at the ITM-Linde website recently as well, including the news section. I suspect it gets very few hits and that there is no-one assigned to actively maintain it. For ITM's future with Linde, clearly a lot hinges on how the Lingen project pans out. Even the announcement of that did not appear to come under the JV banner and looked like 2 separate entities were involved; curious.

Quote: Even moderately efficient renewable locations provide a better energy return than the majority of carbon capture technologies.
Dr Denes Csala, a Lecturer in Energy Storage and System Dynamics at Lancaster University and co-author of the research, said: "It is more valuable, energetically, to invest the available energy resources directly into building new renewable energy and storage capacity rather than building new fossil-fuel power stations with carbon capture.
"The better net energy return of investing in renewable energy makes it more likely to meet emission targets without risking a reduction in energy availability, due to dwindling fossil fuel supplies and a climate-constrained emissions budget.
"Given its net energy disadvantages, carbon capture and storage should be considered a niche and supplementary contributor to the energy system, rather than be seen as a critical technology option as current climate agreements view it."
