 "On 21st August 1986, in northwestern Cameroon, more than 1,700 people and more than 3,500 livestock were killed. Thousands of survivors who were fortunate enough to evacuate developed longterm respiratory problems, lesions and paralysis.
What had happened?
Lake Nyos suddenly released an estimated 100-300 thousand tons of CO2. The cloud rose out of the ground at a speed of about 100km/h and, being heavier than air, descended into nearby villages, suffocating everything alive within 25 kilometres. What triggered this CO2 outgassing is not known to this day. Some geologists believe in a landslide, some in an underground volcanic eruption or earthquake, however, there were no tremors noted by people living close to the lake. Others believe that cool rainfalls at the side of the lake led to the disaster.
Now, approximately 40 years later, and with scientists still not having fully understood what caused this horrible disaster which led to the release of “only” 100-300 thousand tons of CO2, the UK government has decided to heavily fund carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects. The programme foresees £22bn of UK taxpayer money to incentivise companies to store 20-30 million tons of CO2 underground - every year…
My suggestion: Let’s decarbonise by avoiding CO2 emissions in the first place, instead of just hiding them out of sight, and hoping that 1986 will not repeat itself or worse. Stop the greenwashing, or as it is nowadays referred to: “clean”. Truly green technologies are readily available." |
Dennis not happy chappy with UK government. |
The story is that HM Gov intends to announce equivalent package for Green Hydrogen . |
The website. Last updated 9th September 2024 showing major shareholders is now 56.7% has that not increased Stand to be corrected. |
Dont know what went on there - apologies |
Skinny - They are a German owned Company who distribute gases in the UK and all over Europe so lets hope they make Hydrogen using ITM kit. |

Very funny video but very true unfortunately. |
Very good Graham - I must pass it around! |
“By supporting technologies at an early stage of their development, we have an opportunity to drive this technology forward and make a direct impact on the future of green hydrogen production in Scotland.” |
Wish you well guys
It’s all about opinions |

Fair enough Plug have fingers in too many pies, ITM concentrate on making excellent electrolysers. |
Graham - the .
"The idiom, comparing apples and oranges, refers to the differences between items which are popularly thought to be incomparable or incommensurable, such as apples and oranges. The idiom may also indicate that a false analogy has been made between two items, such as where an apple is faulted for not being a good orange." |

Thankfully they have an outlet in Germany which is where they should relocate 100% and move away from the UK.
Skinny shouldn't that be apples and pears lol. |
