In Germany, Greenpeace runs a company that sells a gas mix called ProWindGas made of 99% fossil gas and <1% of hydrogen from water electrolysis, hopefully powered by renewable energy sources.

@kravietz Zuerst möchte ich sagen, dass - bis auf den Markennamen - der Energielieferant ein von der Organisation Greenpeace komplett unabhängiges Unternehmen ist.

Meine Energiegenossenschaft - ich bin Miteigentümer - bemüht sich in einem harten Markt um Innovation und versucht durch bessere Beispiele andere Energieunternehmen zu treiben.

@kravietz Als kleiner Player haben wir mit bewirkt, dass die Power-to gas Technologie in eine breitere Öffentlichkeit getreten ist. Du hast auch gelesen, dass der Wasserstoffanteil kontinuierlich bis 2027 auf 10 % gesteigert wird?

Andere versuchen überhaupt nichts.

@kravietz First of all, I would like to say that - except for the brand name - the energy supplier is a completely independent company from the Greenpeace organisation.

My energy cooperative - I am a co-owner - strives for innovation in a tough market and tries to drive other energy companies by setting better examples.

As a small player, we have helped to bring power-to-gas technology to a wider public. You also read that the hydrogen share will be continuously increased to 10 % by 2027?

"Greenpeace Energy eG was founded (...) at the initiative of environmental protection organisation Greenpeace e.V."

@SC0ID

> hydrogen share will be

You can say whatever you want in future tense. DESERTEC was also making plenty of promises 10 years ago. In your case however the *actual* share of renewable-produced gas has been *decreasing* over the last two years.

@SC0ID Author of this regression is Simon Wakter, based on the data you publish in your Gas Barometer.

@SC0ID

The reason why I consider this to be so outrageous is that I can see Greenpeace in Germany consequently destroying the only stable *and* low-carbon energy source of energy - nuclear power - while at the same time basically its subsidiary is selling 99% fossil gas from Russia and pretending it's "green". It's hard to find a worse example of conflict of interest and double standards to be honest.
