Hydrogen concepts are crucial for the North West UK's decarbonisation efforts. A key project in Cheshire involves converting two refuse trucks and an operational vehicle to fuel cells, supported by a hydrogen refuelling station in Middlewich.

Lily Bernadet from Storengy UK, an ENGIE company, is central to these initiatives. ENGIE aims to be a major player in renewable hydrogen, developing solutions from carbon-free power generation to end uses like mobility, industry, and energy storage. Storengy UK partners locally to advance projects across this entire value chain. This information was presented at a TEDx event.

NOAA Fisheries has finalized regulations protecting over 140,000 square miles of U.S. West Coast seafloor from destructive bottom trawling. These safeguards, effective January 1, 2020, cover vital habitats like corals, sponges, and rocky reefs, crucial for marine life and ocean ecosystems.

This action follows a 2018 vote by the Pacific Fishery Management Council, spurred by scientific input and advocacy from Oceana. The new rules will more than double existing protections, making 90 percent of the West Coast seafloor off-limits to bottom trawling.

Sea turtles and other marine life are threatened by the Pacific Fishery Management Council's (PFMC) consideration of permits for destructive pelagic longlines. This deadly fishing gear, capable of stretching 60 miles with thousands of hooks, was banned on the West Coast for decades due to its proven harm to air-breathing animals. Reintroducing such reckless and wasteful practices is irresponsible.

Urge the PFMC to reject West Coast pelagic longline permits and protect vulnerable marine species. Take action now: http://bit.ly/31ph3zg
