The long and costly @lpoolcityregion.bsky.social hydrogen buses saga is coming to an end, but not before more public money is spent on converting the mothballed H₂ buses to electric. @metromayorsteve.bsky.social believed the #HydrogenHype when it was clear #TheFutureIsElectric ⚡

Liverpool hydrogen buses to go battery-electric amid investment
The 20 Alexander Dennis Enviro400FCEV hydrogen buses in Liverpool will be converted to battery-electric amid wider spend on that technology.

As if one #CCS carbon dioxide pipeline isn't enough, our region will now have two. #PeakCluster plans to run a 125 mile CO₂ exhaust pipe through #Derbyshire, #Staffordshire, #Cheshire and #Wirral so the cement industry can carry on with business as usual.

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?
