BP hydrogen hub: no false solutions

As a partner artist of Just Transition NWI, Kaitlyn was asked to participate in a community art build at Paul Henry’s Art Gallery, and design a poster graphic, tote bags, stickers, and buttons for the “No Dirty Hydrogen In The Midwest” Community Rally in East Chicago, IN on 11/16/24. The event was hosted by JTNWI, Southeast Environmental Task Force, and EarthJustice, with the graphic commissioned by EarthJustice. This event was held to inform and provide resources for community members about the new proposed MachH2 Hydrogen Hub that is being funded for development in our local area.

Blue hydrogen is not a green solution. Many of these efforts will only prolong our reliance on fossil fuels and perpetuate pollution harms in already overburdened communities. These technologies include carbon capture and storage, fossil fuel-based hydrogen, and “sustainable” aviation fuel. All of these technologies have been rolled out with little to no transparency. We call these technologies “False Solutions,” which are market-based schemes promoted by the fossil fuel industry to create the illusion of meaningful climate action while allowing polluters to keep polluting.
