In the fist video of the WSG Hydrogen & Racial Capitalism series we give an overview of why "Green" Hydrogen really isn't, not only due to its environmental impact, but due to the violence and destructions it brings with it.

The EU is hyping hydrogen as the miracle that will cure our fossil fuel addiction. The truth is dirtier: hydrogen risks actually extending fossil fuel use, as well as deepening neo-colonial extractivist practices, including the large-scale appropriation of land, water, and energy in producing countries. New infographics by Corporate Europe Observatory and WeSmellGas expose the dark side of the EU’s hydrogen craze – and the firepower of the corporate giants driving it.

The proposed hydrogen development in the Tsau Khaeb National Park (TKNP) poses a severe threat to one of only a few global biodiversity hotspots in an arid area, and one of the largest near-pristine wildernesses on earth. The biological diversity and ecological sensitivity of the TKNP should raise red flags about any large-scale industrial development in this area.

Derisking is touted as the panacea for delivering finance for expanding renewable energy in the global South, but the experience of renewable energy projects in Senegal and Namibia shows that foreign investors are being furnished with excessive protections from risk with all the financial, social, regulatory and long-term costs imposed on states and marginalised
