Summary
Hydrogen is not a silver bullet against the climate crisis. There is a sensible use for “green” hydrogen. But European industry's plans to fuel itself through massive imports from the Global South threaten to perpetuate centuries-old patterns of global injustice.
Until these imports become a reality at all, a lot of climate-damaging fossil hydrogen is to be burned.
