“Seeing the business’ commitment and passion for Net Zero and the way they are supporting well paid jobs in their communities was inspiring. Their plans very much align to our newly published Seventh Carbon Budget advice.“ - Piers Forster, Chair of the Climate Change Committee On the day Carbon Budget 7 was launched, we look back to last week when we hosted Piers Forster, Michael Lord and Louis Worthington from the CCC at ESB's Carrington Power Station. A summary of the day given by Piers: ? “At Carrington Power Station, we learned about plans for burning hydrogen as a back-up, generating low carbon electricity when the wind isn’t blowing.? "Hydrogen has an important role to play in electricity generation and heavy industry. "The Committee supports the Government’s planned investment in HyNet and are keen to see progress on consenting and financing to make sure projects are delivered at pace.” #hydrogen #CCS #CB7
There should be no role for green hydrogen as a fuel, since it is extremely inefficient and expensive.
