Agree - though Miliband does support fossil fuel based carbon capture in the UK, and that was my point. Read more about why it does not save emissions, or help get off FFs, here scrapcc.org/BLOG and how much this backwards endeavour will cost scrapcc.org/400BN-CCS-SST

I sense that Miliband was not representing the Government at CoP. He was there as himself/energy minister/next PM. And good for him and us.

I think we can raise it with parliamentarians in lots of ways, and we will be!

This has just gone to planning and once again, me and just a few, are engaging in that process. So we need a strong campaign warning this tech - which is related to carbon capture - but also different.

We need real clean power — not hydrogen-washed gas.

Hydrogen co-firing, based on carbon capture generated fuel, is being used as a fig leaf to justify new gas plants

The UK will not have enough low-carbon hydrogen to run power stations anyway. The CCC’s own data shows this

And hydrogen combustion creates more NOx pollution than natural gas

Green hydrogen is even worse for power:
Turn 3 units of renewable electricity into hydrogen → you only get 1 unit of electricity back.
The rest is wasted.
