The EU has just unveiled over 200 cross-border energy projects aiming to accelerate the green transition — but there's a major problem. Experts and civil society groups warn that billions in climate funding could be funneled into fossil fuel infrastructure disguised as clean hydrogen initiatives.

Over 90% of these hydrogen projects were submitted by gas companies, raising serious concerns about greenwashing and conflicts of interest. Critics say these pipelines could transport fossil-based hydrogen for years, all while using public money meant for a cleaner future.

Is Europe truly going green — or just pretending?

Watch to uncover the controversy behind the EU’s €80 billion hydrogen gamble and what it could mean for our climate future.

00:00What if billions in EU climate funds are secretly backing fossil fuels?
00:04That's exactly what critics are warning right now.
00:06The EU just announced two 35 energy projects meant to support its green transition.
00:12But experts say many of them could actually prolong the use of fossil fuels.
00:16Over 100 are hydrogen infrastructure projects.
00:19And here's the twist.
00:21Over 90% were submitted by gas companies.
00:24That's despite a 2022 law meant to move Europe away from gas.
00:27The total investment? More than 80 billion euros.
00:31And yet, many of these pipelines may just end up carrying fossil hydrogen.
00:35Not the clean, renewable kind.
00:37Critics call it greenwashing.
00:39Old gas pipelines are being rebranded as hydrogen-ready.
00:43But with no real supply of green hydrogen in sight.
00:46They could run on fossil fuels for years, using public money.
00:49Experts warn this could erode trust in the EU's climate goals.
00:53And citizens may end up footing the bill for projects no one asked for.
00:56One former gas exec called the whole plan economically unrealistic.
01:01And suggested starting small, with local hydrogen hubs, instead of massive, risky pipelines.
01:07For now, the EU has two months to decide which projects to approve.
01:12The question is, will they choose real climate action?
01:15Or just the illusion of it?
01:16The nature is going on.
01:17The news across the world is going on.
01:20So, that's why we use the usual carbon out.
01:23The current 대한
01:37across the world still starts doing, with building, balancinging the city of энергии.
