Why is @manmetuni.bsky.social top of the league? It hosted #HyNet at a careers event this year. HyNet will produce dirty #BlueHydrogen, dump millions of tonnes of carbon dioxide under #LiverpoolBay and is backed by #EETFuels, #Cadent and #Eni.
What's going on @peopleandplanet.bsky.social?
Permission has been granted for #HyNet to install a cable under #TalacreBeach and #GronantDunes in #NorthWales. The #SSSI is home to rare protected #SandLizards, #NatterjackToads and #GreatCrestedNewts and is a vital breeding ground for #LittleTerns 🧵
Next spring, the government is set to finalise the #HydrogenTransportBusinessModel which will enable H₂ pipeline schemes to progress. In the meantime, #HyNet backer #Cadent has decided to pause its Development Consent Order planning application.
Over 1,000 UK scientists are urging every MP to attend the @nebriefing.bsky.social this week. Justin Madders is going, but #HyNet CO₂ pipeline constituency reps #SarahPochin, #SamanthaDixon, #MarkTami and #BeckyGittins aren't.
They must read this letter 👇
"“Continueranno a bruciare combustibili fossili con la scusa del green”: l’inchiesta di ReCommon sul progetto #Hynet di #Eni"

Excellent work by @recommon.org exposing the government funded #BlueHydrogen and #CCS scam being peddled by #HyNet, #EETFuels and #Eni at #Stanlow. CCS is dangerous, expensive, energy intensive and unproven at scale. Shout out to @carolynthomasms.bsky.social.

When will politicians like #EdMiliband and #LouiseGittins realise that #HyNet, #BlueHydrogen and #CCS are false solutions that'll worsen the climate crisis? They're buying a fossil fuel industry lie and paying for it with billions of pounds of public money.
Heads up #EETFuels. Hydrogen makes sense in a few industrial applications and very little else. Refining crude isn't one of them. #HyNet is critically flawed because its key application is refining climate wrecking fossil fuels and prolonging their use.
The fossil fuel industry is insidiously entering universities including @ljmuofficial.bsky.social, @manmetuni.bsky.social and @wrexhamuni.bsky.social to recruit graduate students. Worse still, @liverpooluni.bsky.social is collaborating with #HyNet.
We've lodged an appeal against the refusal of our application to seek a judicial review of the government decision to allow captured carbon dioxide to be stored in #LiverpoolBay as part of the #HyNet scheme.
Advocacy in favour of #CCS predominantly comes from #BigOil majors including #BP, #Shell and #HyNet partner #Eni, along with the #CarbonCaptureAndStorageAssociation which disproportionately represents the fossil fuel industry and has consistently engaged with the government since 2008.
🧵2/2
In 2022, @wrexhamuni.bsky.social was the first university in #Wales to ban fossil fuel industry recruitment on its campuses. Yet here it is, hosting #HyNet which is a front for #Cadent, #EETFuels and #Eni to carry on pumping gas and dumping carbon dioxide. Students deserve the truth.
#BigOil behemoth and #HyNet #CCS partner #Eni has been fined €336million for rigging fuel prices. In 2022, it leaked 80,000 litres of oil into the #IrishSea. Eni isn't a fit and proper company, yet its pocketing huge taxpayer subsidies. Why #DESNZ?
Labour MS carolynthomasms.bsky.social has raised concerns in the Senedd about the environmental impact of the #HyNet carbon dioxide pipeline which will plough through communities, conservation sites and watercourses in #NorthWales. She's the only politician to speak out.
Instead of paying #HyNet and #Eni £22billion to develop #CCS, the government should be funding more renewables, upgrading and expanding the energy grid and investing in #ElectrificationInnovation so high carbon industries like cement and glass manufacturing can go green.

The government is exploring plans by @climeworks.bsky.social for a #DirectAirCapture facility as part of #HyNet. The #DAC process is expensive and energy intensive and Climeworks has faced significant criticism due to its technology failing to meet capture targets.
#CCS is a fanciful technofix which lacks a credible track record. Schemes like #HyNet will impose unlimited financial liabilities and huge environmental costs on the UK and help dirty energy to sideline renewables. The government must #StopFundingCCS now.
We've raised £70k from generous benefactors to take the government to court over its decision to approve the #HyNet #CCS scheme in #LiverpoolBay. We're aiming to raise another £30k to cover unexpected legal costs.
Please donate if you can. Thank you 🙏
We're taking the #DepartmentForEnergySecurityAndNetZero and the #NorthSeaTransitionAuthority to court. We believe their decision to allow the #HyNet #CCS scheme in #LiverpoolBay failed to:
• Assess major accidents risk
• Comply with marine conservation regulations
• Assess climate change impact

We've applied for a judicial review of the government decision to allow fossil fuel giant #Eni to store carbon dioxide in #LiverpoolBay using #CarbonCaptureAndStorage as part of the #HyNet scheme. We're working with @leigh-day.bsky.social on the legal proceedings.

The government has approved the #HyNet #CarbonCaptureAndStorage scheme in #LiverpoolBay and handed fossil fuel giant #Eni £2billion of public money to build it. #CCS is an expensive, risky, inefficient and unproven technofix fuelled by hot air and hype.
A new Environmental Impact Assessment says a cable running under the Gronant Dunes SSSI to provide power and telecoms for the Hynet cable plan will have 'no adverse impact' on the environment.
