Oil companies love to tell the world about the super cool technologies that have that will allow us to keep burning fossil fuels without cooking the

One of the only facilities in the world that uses carbon capture and storage technology to reduce the emissions of hydrogen production has the same carbon footprint as 1.2 million petrol cars, according to a new report seen exclusively by Sky News.
