Green hydrogen forms a key plank of the EU’s carbon neutral strategy, but if it is to deliver on its promise the Commission must boost research and set a clear investment strategy to make the technology commercially competitive says a new report which MEPs are expected to back tomorrow.

Producing green hydrogen using electricity from renewable sources to split water into hydrogen and oxygen is technically feasible - but very expensive. Currently, it cannot compete with the existing process, which involves catalytic conversion of methane or other fossil fuel feedstocks.

This is not stopping the EU from putting its eggs in the green hydrogen basket. The European Commission wants to have 40GH of water-splitting electrolysers in the EU by 2030, producing 10 million tonnes of clean hydrogen a year. By 2050, hydrogen is foreseen to become a key part of Europe’s energy mix, requiring an investment of up to €470 billion in the next 30 years.

Vauxhall has unveiled a new variant of its Vivaro medium van powered by a hydrogen fuel cell.

The firm says the van, badged the Vivaro-e Hydrogen, will be able to cover up to 249 miles on a single tank of hydrogen, which can be refilled in three minutes.

The vans are said to allow staff to reach locations in remote areas, thanks to their 245-mile battery range, and also have enough room to carry required tools, wet weather clothing and PPE.

Looks very oversold to me.

Thanks tm, I do have a set, this was excerpt from George speech, I should have used quotation marks.
The last time I visited our 'community (recycling) centre'.. there was a huge skip full to the brim of small electricals, mostly
simple repairs no doubt or just wrong shade of red in my sister in laws case....

The modern industrial economy works like this: resources are dug from a hole in the ground on one side of the planet, used for a few weeks, then dumped in a hole on the other side of the planet. This is known as the "creation of value". The creation of value improves our quality of life. Improvements in our quality of life make us happier. The more we transfer from hole to hole, the happier we become.

A few Christmases ago, I was given a kettle, which now leaks. I could mend it, but one of the screws has a star-shaped slot with a spike in the middle, which is designed to prevent repairs, as no available tool will fit it. My kettle was for Christmas, not just for life. So I will throw it away, and help to build an earthly paradise by buying a new one.
