Context around the project:

  • Project is said to be “H2-ready”.
  • Has sparked strong opposition from residents and environmental groups

What is the problem?

  • Negative impacts on air quality and public health.
  • Locks the region in a long-term reliance on fossil gas instead of transitioning to renewable energy.
