NEW: As the torch of the Paris 2024 - Comité d'organisation des Jeux Olympiques et Paralympiques de 2024 is set to light up the world of sport, the New Weather Institute revealed the climate-wrecking records that lie beneath the green-tinted sheen of the 15 sponsoring companies' promotional campaigns. Toyota Motor Corporation, the gold-medal polluter, churns out CO2 emissions surpassing those of the Olympic host nation, France, and more than all but 11 participating countries. With over 11 million fossil-fuel vehicles produced yearly, #Toyota’s emissions race ahead of its green promises.

The Olympic cauldron: a hot air balloon, the highlight of the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games A breathtaking spectacle! Lit by Teddy Riner and Marie-José Pérec, the Olympic cauldron, a 7 m flame ring topped by a gigantic balloon 30 m high and 22 m in diameter, flew over the Jardin des Tuileries. At the same time, Celine Dion sang Edith Piaf's "L'hymne à l'amour" from the first floor of the Eiffel Tower An "out of the ordinary" cauldron in homage to the first flight in a gas balloon inflated with hydrogen, in December 1783 from the Jardin des Tuileries, by physicist Jacques Charles and one of the two Robert brothers. "At the same time, the Montgolfier brothers developed their hot air balloon, work that would serve as the basis for the first flight of humans made in Paris, between the Château de la Muette and the Butte-aux-Cailles, and reached an altitude of 1,000 m. It is the spirit of audacity, creativity and innovation of the France that this unique Washbasin represents", says Paris 2024 - Comité d'organisation des Jeux Olympiques et Paralympiques de 2024 It is a real pride to see the reference to hydrogen during these Olympiads. Energy Observer, the first autonomous and zero-emission #hydrogène ship, a real research and innovation platform dedicated to the energy transition, will be at the heart of this global event from tomorrow, Sunday 28 July in the evening, until 11 September. #olympics2024 #hydrogen #greenhydrogen #hyvia #plug #innovation #creativity

The beauty of the Eiffel Tower was truly magical as the moon shone through the Olympic circles, creating an unforgettable sight to behold! The Paris 2024 Olympics is setting new standards for sustainability. Here are some of the amazing initiatives: 🌿 Renewable Resources: The use of recyclable cardboard beds, solar panels, and sustainable materials like wood and low-carbon concrete is commendable. 🥗 Plant-Based Foods: Olympians will have twice as much plant-based food options, promoting healthier and more sustainable diets. 🌞 Solar Power: The Olympic Village is powered by rooftop solar panels and a floating solar farm that can supply energy to 94 apartments, supplementing other renewable sources on site. 🏢 Post-Games Transformation: The Olympic Village will be transformed into a vibrant new business and residential district. This area will feature affordable housing, supermarkets, green spaces, and even two schools, ensuring the legacy of the Olympics positively impacts the community. Watch this insta video by official page of Olympics to see the beautiful sustainability initiatives taken. https://lnkd.in/dQridTAP This is a remarkable example of how the Olympics can leave a lasting positive impact on cities and communities, moving away from the abandonment seen in many previous games. 🏸Go Team India!

Toyota’s goals for a hydrogen Olympic legacy at Paris 2024: The 2024 Paris Olympic Games will be the “ideal” event to showcase what hydrogen can do to decarbonise the mobility industry, according to Toyota Motor Europe’s R&D Vice-President. #hydrogen #HydrogenNow #H2View

When I watched this, this morning, I asked my son, Max, to deploy his better eyes to tell me what Tom Cruise's motorbike was, but even his young eyes weren't able to work it out. Now, thanks to ElectricDrives, we know. Electric motorcycles need an acceleration into the early mainstream, and Harley's EV brand needs something of a bad guy meets good guy brand position. Tom cruised this LiveWire balancing act. #evs #emobility #electricmotorcycles #sustainability

🌿🏅 Paris 2024 Olympics: A Hydrogen-Powered Decarbonization Catalyst 🏅🌿 💡Interesting Fact: While the Paris 2024 Olympic flame isn't powered by hydrogen, the Tokyo Olympic torch did run on hydrogen. Additionally, the CEO of Lhyfe (a green hydrogen specialist) is a torchbearer for the 2024 Games. The Paris 2024 Olympics are committed to being the most sustainable Games in history, and hydrogen plays a key role in this transition towards a greener and environmentally-friendly economy. Air Liquide, as official hydrogen supporter of the Games, is committed to using its expertise to ensure hydrogen is a key part of the transition. Here are some facts on how hydrogen will contribute to the decarbonization of this iconic event: 1️⃣ Clean Transportation: With H2 retrofitted buses, a fleet of 500 Toyota Mirais, Hype's taxi fleet & charging station ecosystem, and even Toyota vehicle delivery trucks, the Olympic Games' mobility will be hydrogen-powered. 2️⃣ Green Electricity Production: Hydrogen fuel cells will enable the production of electricity at certain Olympic venues, offering a clean and renewable alternative to traditional energy sources. 3️⃣ Sustainable Heating: Hydrogen will be used for heating the Olympic buildings, helping to reduce the event's carbon footprint. 📊 Environmental Impact: Estimates suggest that integrating hydrogen into the Paris 2024 Olympics could reduce CO2 emissions by several tons, making a significant contribution to the fight against climate change. The Paris 2024 Olympics are a unique opportunity to showcase the potential of hydrogen as an effective and sustainable decarbonization solution. Let's come together for a cleaner and greener future!   See more information about Air Liquid role as H2 supporter: https://lnkd.in/e-yUmKG6   🌍💪 #Paris2024 #Decarbonization #Hydrogen #SustainableSports #GreenEnergy #ClimateAction #CleanAir #RenewableEnergy #FutureOfSport #GreenTech #Innovation #Olympics #Sustainability #CleanMobility #HydrogenEconomy #ZeroEmissions #AirLiquide

An Olympic flame without fire? Tradition meets innovation at the Paris 2024 Olympics and Paralympics with a twist: the iconic Olympic flame has been reimagined as a light and water display. This new flame, designed by Mathieu Lehanneur, uses 40 LED projectors and a mist of water vapour from 200 high-pressure nozzles, all powered by 100% renewable energy from EDF. This innovation, replacing the traditional fossil fuel flame, aligns to make Paris 2024 the "greenest games ever," cutting the carbon footprint to 1.75 million tonnes of CO2 from the usual 3.5 million tonnes. This shift challenges us to rethink how we balance tradition with sustainability, showing that progress often means redefining what we consider business as usual. As we admire this "new kind of monument," let's celebrate the Paris 2024 - Comité d'organisation des Jeux Olympiques et Paralympiques de 2024 for its sustainability initiative. This change inspires us to seek creative, sustainable solutions in our industries. What do you think of such innovation?

The launch of Extreme H's first hydrogen race car, the 'Pioneer 25,' marks a significant milestone not only for motorsport but for the broader adoption of green and hydrogen technology. Unveiled with the iconic Tower Bridge as a backdrop, the Pioneer 25 is set to debut in April 2025. The vehicle, developed by Spark Racing Technology and powered by a 75kW hydrogen fuel cell from Symbio, highlights the performance and viability of hydrogen fuel cells in demanding environments. With a peak output of 400kw (550hp) and acceleration from 0-100kph in just 4.5 seconds, it demonstrates that sustainable technology can match and even surpass traditional power sources. Alejandro Agag, Founder and CEO of Extreme H, emphasized that this launch is not just about a new vehicle but about pioneering the future of sustainable motorsport. This sentiment is a testament to the transformative potential of hydrogen technology in reducing global carbon footprints. Extreme H’s inaugural season will span 10 rounds across five locations, kicking off in Saudi Arabia and concluding in the United States. This global reach will further demonstrate Hydrogen's capabilities as a fuel.
