Greenpeace currently demonstrates at the Hydrogen Expo in Hamburg which underscores a pivotal discussion regarding hydrogen's sustainability role. Pro-Hydrogen Perspectives:✅️ -Hydrogen is crucial for achieving CO2 neutrality, particularly as a fossil fuel alternative in transportation and industry. -It aids in transitioning to renewable energy by storing surplus from sources like wind and solar. Concerns Against Hydrogen:⛔️ -Critics point out that hydrogen production, especially from natural gas, can still generate substantial CO2 emissions. -Greenpeace advocates for direct emission reductions over reliance on technologies like carbon capture, which they deem insufficient. Transitioning to a green hydrogen future poses challenges. How does your organization ensure responsible choices between green and grey hydrogen? Let’s engage in this important dialogue.🤝 #SCIOFLEX #GreenHydrogen #Greenpeace #Nachhaltigkeit #Bildung #Energiezukunft #Innovation #materials #materialsScience #CompositeMaterials #EngineeringExcellence

Day 5 at AlterCOP 29: Energy Transition & Decarbonisation in Focus On November 15th, we explored critical pathways to sustainable energy, delving into Singapore’s role in advancing decarbonisation across industries. Panels highlighted renewable energy’s impact on fossil fuel reduction, the importance of battery storage in ensuring energy resilience, and green hydrogen’s potential to drive zero-emission growth. Additional discussions tackled climate finance, carbon markets, and corporate commitments, with insights on engaging stakeholders in the journey toward carbon neutrality. For the evening spotlight programme, we had the privilege of having Dr Koh, Senior Minister of State, Ministry of Manpower & Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment to explore further those topics. 5 Key Takeaways from Day 5: 1. Decarbonisation: an Urgent and Essential Goal Decarbonisation is not just an idealistic vision. The climate crisis demands immediate action because the climate crisis isn't waiting for anyone. The time to act is now! 2. Cross Border Collaboration: Powering the Planet with Renewable Energy Cross-border energy trading and collaboration could help overcome geographical limitations and optimise renewable energy utilisation across Southeast Asia. 3. Green Hydrogen's Role in Global Decarbonisation Green hydrogen is emerging as a crucial element in decarbonising hard-to-abate sectors and addressing energy challenges in regions where direct electrification is difficult. 4. Incentivising Decarbonisation and Innovation Funding Carbon markets incentivise decarbonisation through various mechanisms such as emissions trading, carbon pricing, and emission caps. 5. Breaking the Chain of Inaction: Decarbonisation from Supplier to Customer Any company can also break the chain of inaction by engaging suppliers customers to start a movement.  Thank you to our expert speakers for renewing our lens on how we can influence and accelerate decarbonisation.

TRANSITIONING INTO HYDROGEN ECONOMY: OVERCOMING OBSTACLES FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Despite United Nations (UN) efforts since 1992, climate change remains a serious threat, causing biodiversity loss, floods and extreme weather. Though, goals for reducing emissions and switching from non-renewable to renewable sources have been set by countries most especially developed nations to meet this mandate, we still need to put in more efforts to reduce the carbon emission. Examples of these goals include the use of carbon capture and storage technologies (Niu et al., 2022), investments in green technology (Zou et al., 2022), and the promotion of energy-efficient policies (Wang et al., 2023, Yang et al., 2022) Experts have greatly encouraged the usage of green and renewable sources for energy consumption due to the growing threat of climate change and its detrimental effects on human life. Additionally, it reduces emissions and aids in the resolution of environmental issues (Fu et al., 2021; Qin et al., 2021). Since switching to renewable energy sources is known to be an effective way to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, it has gained significance in the twenty-first century, because they do not exhaust resources or release harmful emissions into the climate; hence shifts to renewable energy sources are sustainable (IPCC, 2022). However, shifting to sustainable energy faces challenges like high costs infrastructure, and safety regulations issues (IPCC, 2022). Despite difficulties, moving to a hydrogen economy is crucial for fighting climate change. Construction of new hydrogen production facilities and the retrofitting of existing natural gas infrastructure is a way to alleviate the infrastructure problem. Also, developing innovative technologies for transportation and hydrogen storage is another option to tackle the infrastructure problem. Lastly, new safety regulations for the manufacturing, storage, and transportation of hydrogen must be created to solve the issue of safety. In conclusion, shifting to a hydrogen economy will not be easy, but it is an essential step towards mitigating climate change and lowering greenhouse gas emissions to promote sustainable development. #Climate Change Reduction Strategy #Sustainable Development Agenda #Repost if you find it useful

In 2012, the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 21 March the International Day of Forests. The theme for 2024 is Forests and Innovation: New Solutions for a Better World. Just as forest carbon sinks, renewable energy and storage technologies also play significant roles in helping the world to combat climate change. EXENCELL attaches great importance to sustainable development and 2 of its factories were certified Net-Zero Carbon Building by TUV Rheinland and BRE, empowering green energy with innovative technology and ESG. **International Day of Forests**  **ForestDay** #EXENCELL #empoweringgreenenergy #ForestDay #energystorage #EnergyTransition #RenewableEnergy #Energy #cell #lithiumionbattery #NetZero #netzerocarbon #sustainability #ESG #UNGC #GBA #batterypassport

With the recent news on hydrogen and sustainability projects in NZ and Australia, it's easy to feel slightly disheartened about the outlook for sustainability and energy transition projects. But what if we viewed these setbacks as indicators of progress and signaling opportunities for investment and future growth?

🌊💚 Last week, world #hydrogen frontrunners came together at the World Hydrogen Summit & Exhibition in #Rotterdam! With over 15,000 participants from around the globe, including policymakers, researchers, and businesses, this event was a testament to the growing momentum in the hydrogen sector. The #Netherlands and the #UK, both leading the way with ambitious hydrogen strategies and production goals for 2030 and beyond, held the second UK-NL Round Table on Hydrogen. This crucial gathering of policymakers and industry leaders focused on: · Exchanging expertise · Addressing challenges · Exploring the roles of grey, blue, and green hydrogen in achieving net zero targets and energy security Key discussions covered: · The current hydrogen landscape in both countries · Market developments · Strategies to accelerate progress It was inspiring to witness the leadership from NBCC members like Shell bp Port of Rotterdam Port of Amsterdam ING Welsh Government and Scottish Development International. 🌍🔋 As the energy transition is essential for meeting net zero targets and ensuring energy security, the insights from this session will be instrumental for the NBCC Frontrunners' event on 25 June in London as we gear up for #COP29 in #Baku. A big thank you to Ricardo Solis Hernandez of the British Embassy The Hague and Tessel Van Essen of the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in the United Kingdom for organizing this impactful event. 🌱🤝 #weareNBCC #strongertogether #northseaneighbours #renewables #hydrogen #sustainability #energytransition #netzero Margriet Tutuhatunewa - Jansen Richard van der Eijk Mark Hoolwerf Giuliano Martin Véronique van Haaften Lyne Biewinga Alaiza Ligas Thomas Wiggers Casper Muller Miranda Barker OBE
