This effectively means no new fossil fuel equipment within a few years
meanwhile Australia is busy drilling for gas and oil and expanding coal mines.
This Colombian conference is kicking ass already
I think gas won’t be phased out; it will be gradually enriched with renewably produced hydrogen (from electrolysis) until the gas mix is 100% renewable.
Doesn’t really work like that. You can’t put more than a bit of hydrogen into existing appliances or pipes without destroying them
maybe but it’s a ridiculous thing to do, so let’s hope not.
Might as well just electrify. It’s a massively inefficient way of making H, storage and transport of H is beyond tricky , H is a GHG so whatever fugitive emissions you have, which there’s plenty of with a molecule that small, are ubiquitous.
That said, doing stupid things has never stopped humanity before, so who knows. Every H project in Australia has been shitballed, some are saying make Ammonia now instead but that’s ripe with problems as well but it is significantly easier to store and transport.
Too slow
Better than nothing.
If they did nothing that would be way better for the climate. Instead they’re choosing to consume massive amounts of fossil fuels.
