The Controversy making international headlines: Is the Carbon Footprint of the 2024 Olympics really compromised by Hydrogen? An Open Letter in response. The goal of reducing the #carbonfootprint of the #2024ParisOlympics by 50% compared to the 2016 and 2012 Games is a major objective. In this context, 500 Toyota Mirai vehicles, powered exclusively by #hydrogen, and 47 hydrogen buses/coaches from Caetano and GCK, will be used for the transportation of athletes and accredited personnel. This unprecedented implementation has sparked international controversy, with the organizers of the Games being accused of greenwashing. An open letter published this week by 120 scientists made headlines worldwide. This letter presents technical arguments aimed at concluding that hydrogen is a deception. The open letter we are publishing in response (see below) provides additional technical elements that demonstrate, on the contrary, that hydrogen-fueled mobility will be essential for #decarbonization. If you share our conviction that hydrogen will play an essential role, please comment on this post, like it, or share it. It is crucial not to leave the field open, without response, to opponents of hydrogen – often motivated by conflicting interests. In particular, we explain how the upcoming distribution of hydrogen for mobility in 2024 by Haffner Energy Hynoca® technology, provides a factual and scientific rebuttal to the claims made in the first open letter. We can only commend and thank the International Olympic Committee – IOC and the Paris 2024 - Comité d'organisation des Jeux Olympiques et Paralympiques de 2024, for their resolute choice to promote hydrogen within the framework of the Paris Olympic Games. We also salute Toyota Motor Corporation for their strong industrial commitment to hydrogen. These admirable initiatives serve as a tremendous springboard to accelerate the international uptake of renewable and decarbonized hydrogen. #paris2024 #sustainability #alternativeenergy #automotiveindustry #greenhydrogen
