Oh gods I had never considered the implications of CCS and large scale hydrogen production for water supplies 😫
The government's plans for carbon capture + hydrogen could consume 860mn litres of water a day - which may leave some parts of England without enough water to meet demand, even with additional reservoirs being built, report finds.
