1/ Banking on Liquefied “Natural” Gas #LNG to power our industry, heat our homes, and cook our meals is a TERRIBLE idea.
Check the facts in the new LNG Economic Visual Guide—endorsed by 19 groups—to see why the numbers just don’t add up 🔢

6/ LNG isn’t just an economic risk—it’s a #human & #climatedisaster. It’s among the dirtiest fossil fuels, emitting more greenhouse gases than coal when methane leaks are counted. It harms frontline communities & fuels climate injustice in the US & abroad.
7/ The good news: solutions are here. #Renewables are now #cheaper than fossil gas, create more #jobs, and can meet global #energydemand many times over. We need investment in community-owned, sustainable clean energy to #phaseout fossil gas for good.
Really EU energy priority?🇪🇺
The methodology to assess EU priority #hydrogen infra projects (PCIs/PMIs) has been validated yesterday. It contains problematic loopholes & is built on blatant conflicts of interest benefiting the #fossilfuel industry 🔥How?
👉Read the thread🧵(1/4)
The methodology weighs supposed “benefits” of #hydrogen projects against costs—BUT assumes many (only potential) benefits & ignores the real costs of fossil hydrogen, environmental destruction, and #humanrights abuses linked to the projects. 📷📷 (3/4)
We have long called for more transparency, proper involvement of civil society and for kicking the fossil fuel lobby out of defining which energy Projects are in our Common Interest!
✊✊
We will continue to ask for PCIs for Europe, not for big oil & gas!

1/ Today, @EUCouncil may back conclusions pushing @EU_Commission weaken EU Methane Reg 📷 That means loopholes & more dirty #LNG.
In the 📷: clips from last week’s #BreakFreeFromGas action + a strong warning from MEP @JuttaPaulusRLP on the danger of weaker methane rules!
2/ Let’s be clear: real energy security isn’t deregulation or dirty #TrumpPutin #gas—or any gas. Last week we said it loud & clear in Brussels. As the Energy Council meets, we say it again: EU, stop locking us into #fossilgas! We need 100% renewable, fair & efficient solutions
1/ We say NO to #TrumpPutin #Gas, and NO to #Gas from anywhere. Fossil gas is not the future. Clean, 100% renewable solutions exist! Ahead of the June 16 Energy Council, we say it loud: Gas dependency = energy insecurity. Time to phase it out for good. #BeyondGas #EnergyJustice
2/ Inside @EUCouncil, some want to weaken 🇪🇺 Methane Regulation—opening the door to more dirty #LNG. More #fossilgas means more harm to people & planet. We urge: PHASE OUT GAS NOW! 💥 Read more: foodandwatereurope.org/press…
LNG is a costly trap, while #renewables bring security independence and get cheaper every year.

1/📢At the @IEA Summit, Asia CSOs warn EU: don’t repeat the ‘Japanese Model’ investing public💵in LNG. LNG doesn't deliver #EnergySecurity - it's caused blackouts, debts & harmful climate + health impacts. EU must stay the course on a #JustEnergyTransition
