"Desperate to meet its electricity needs, China is opening up new coal production exceeding what all of Western Europe mines in a year, at a tremendous cost to the global effort to fight climate change."
A NEW floating offshore wind farm is being proposed to the north of Shetland – with plans to link the development to a hydrogen refinery in the isles.
The 10GW offshore wind farm, which would be located 136km north of Shetland, is being proposed by Aker Horizons, and it was unveiled at the COP26 climate conference in Glasgow. The Northern Horizons project, which the developer says would save seven million tons of CO2 a year, has been described as a “globally significant proposal”. The 20MW floating turbines involved would have a tip height of 295m (1000ft).
This hydrogen would be “transported to a net zero hydrogen refinery on Shetland which would use it to create products such as ammonia, liquid hydrogen and synthetic fuels” for local consumption and wider export. The plans also appear to suggest a new hydrogen pipeline to mainland Scotland.
Aker said each year the project would produce enough green hydrogen to heat 916,000 UK homes, while it could provide enough liquid hydrogen to power 40 per cent of the total mileage of UK buses.
The school children will remember!The people of Copenhagen just found out the claim of being carbon neutral by 2025,,,,,, thats a big fat lie, which hopefully people will remember in the pending municipal elections.
But somehow i have my doubts.
Do love me some " Go juice " Just too bad its so frightfully expensive.
No problem with using hydrocarbon fuels, just make sure they are not the fossil fuel variety.Yeah, but there's nothing quite like the hairy chested sound of revving a well tuned engine and the smell of hydrocarbon fumes! Fu*k the planet!
Crucially, the new fuel will also pack a punch worthy of the pinnacle of motorsport, matching the energy density of Formula 1’s current fossil fuel petrols – meaning the cars will be every bit as fast and loud as they are today.

Formula 1 is aiming to field a new power unit by 2025 – and the championship wants that engine to be powered by 100% sustainable ‘drop-in fuel’ designed to help Formula 1 achieve its goal of being Net Zero Carbon by 2030.www.formula1.com
I've only watched a couple of Formula E events on TV but was really impressed with the performance of the cars (as I have been with most EVs I've driven). The one thing I did miss compared to F1, and other ICE racing as well, was the pit stops for refueling/tires - they can be as exciting as the race itself.I think watching the coming technical innovations will make this interesting and fun.
