✅67,000+ health professionals ✅23 health organizations ✅1 objective: We call on the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to review the current peer-reviewed evidence of the public health and health equity harms of the entire Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) lifecycle from fracking to exports. 📢 Health professionals across the country assert that if the DOE reviews this extensive scientific evidence, they will, like us, find that continued LNG exports are not in the public interest.

🏭European industries have seen first-hand over the last few years that the stability and competitiveness of essential feedstocks are the basis of well-functioning sectors. ⚖Therefore, stress and risks need to be mitigated, and sectoral cooperation and synergies need to be strengthened to achieve #resilience, with an established enabling framework. 💧There is no doubt that the #hydrogen industry will integrate many stakeholders in the course of its water strategy. - said Jorgo Chatzimarkakis, CEO of Hydrogen Europe in our interview series that dives deep into the pivotal role of #water across diverse #economic sectors.

💡 As #CleanHydrogen has gained popularity among federal and state policymakers and the private sector, a growing number of community and environmental groups have raised concerns with the fuel, and with their lack of involvement in #hydrogen decision-making thus far. The Western Green Hydrogen Initiative (WGHI) hosted a virtual convening this year that brought together public sector leaders from states with diverse resources, social and political landscapes, and energy needs. This brief details the learnings from that convening and offers options for states to better integrate equity, justice, and community benefits considerations in their efforts to stand up clean hydrogen programs. ⚖ To learn more and access the convening brief: https://lnkd.in/gExkJAZd About WGHI Jointly hosted by the GHC, NASEO - National Association of State Energy Officials, and Western Interstate Energy Board, WGHI is a public-private partnership to advance and accelerate the deployment of #GreenHydrogen infrastructure in the Western region for the benefit of the region’s economies and environment.

Coming from the #hydrogen sector and now in the #waterindustry, it's great to see the link between them out in the open ! 💡 Did you know you need 9L of water to make 1kg of renewable H2 ? 💧 With an ambitious objective of 10Mtons of domestic renewable H2 production by 2030, the Commission should also take into consideration the #waterstress this induces. 🤝 Lets not forget #Energysecurity goes hand in hand with #watersecurity ! This is why the water sector calls adamantly for an #EUwaterresilience strategy.

This should be supported by everyone. For those in health it represents a huge investment in health prevention with cleaner air and a safer climate. Subsidies for fossil fuels should be phased out and used to support such an important initiative. https://lnkd.in/gPE_XMT7

Despite the abundance of #energy potential in #EasternAfrica, Roughly 80% of all energy used in the region comes from biomass like wood, charcoal and waste which is unsafe, unhealthy and damages the land from which it is gathered. As the world looks to #Africa for climate solutions, how can we transition to reliable and affordable energy sources? A present publication by Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung and the Society for International Development, "Energy For Whom" explores how the conundrum of energy needs and politics might impact energy poverty in Eastern Africa in the coming decades to 2050. #AfricaClimateSummit This is a must-read.
