Alarm‼️
Is the hydrogen production at #Iberdrola's #Barcelona plant, used to power Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona (TMB) Hydrogen buses, truly renewable❓
European directive 2023/1184 sets clear limits for CO2 emissions in electricity generation for green hydrogen production, setting a maximum of 18gCO2eq/MJ.
However, official Spanish data shows that national electricity generation emissions reach 54.1gCO2eq/MJ, far exceeding this limit.

How is it possible that #Enagas has certified this hydrogen generated at Iberdrola's #Barcelona plant as renewable, if it uses energy directly from the grid that exceeds the maximum limit set by the EU?
What trick has been used?
For reference #Madrid has also embarked on hydrogen, but it does so with a smaller project, proposing only 10 buses out of the approximately 2000 that it has in its fleet. In addition, it uses energy directly from solar panels installed on-site, thus complying with the #EU regulations.
However, in Barcelona, the energy used comes from the electricity grid, which raises questions about the origin of this energy and its environmental impact.
It is essential that both companies and regulatory bodies are transparent and comply with European regulations.
Jordi Hereu as former mayor of Barcelona and current Minister of Tourism (and Industry):
Can anyone help provide transparency or information to the citizens to generate the necessary trust?
What kind of regulation has been aproved to allow Iberdrola to use the power from the grid, to generate "renewable" Hydrogen?
Paul Martin,David Cebon, Michael Barnard , Tom Baxter, as members of the Hydrogen Science Coalition, What do you think of this new #hopium episode? Am I wrong or what am I missing?
Thank you very much Michael Sura for your invaluable help!
