Hey fellow impactful ninja ?

You may have noticed that Impactful Ninja is all about providing helpful information to make a positive impact on the world and society. And that we love to link back to where we found all the information for each of our posts.

  • Most of these links are informational-based for you to check out their primary sources with one click.

  • But some of these links are so-called "affiliate links" to products that we recommend.

Why do we add these product links?

First and foremost, because we believe that they add value to you. For example, when we wrote a post about the environmental impact of long showers, we came across an EPA recommendation to use WaterSense showerheads. So we linked to where you can find them. Or, for many of our posts, we also link to our favorite books on that topic so that you can get a much more holistic overview than one single blog post could provide.

And when there is an affiliate program for these products, we sign up for it. For example, as Amazon Associates, we earn from qualifying purchases.

What do these affiliate links mean for you?
  1. First, and most importantly, we still only recommend products that we believe add value for you.

  2. When you buy something through one of our affiliate links, we may earn a small commission - but at no additional costs to you.

  3. And when you buy something through a link that is not an affiliate link, we won’t receive any commission but we’ll still be happy to have helped you.

What do these affiliate links mean for us?
  1. When we find products that we believe add value to you and the seller has an affiliate program, we sign up for it.

  2. When you buy something through one of our affiliate links, we may earn a small commission (at no extra costs to you).

  3. And at this point in time, all money is reinvested in sharing the most helpful content with you. This includes all operating costs for running this site and the content creation itself.

What does this mean for me personally?

You may have noticed by the way Impactful Ninja is operated that money is not the driving factor behind it. It is a passion project of mine and I love to share helpful information with you to make a positive impact on the world and society. However, it's a project in that I invest a lot of time and also quite some money.

Eventually, my dream is to one day turn this passion project into my full-time job and provide even more helpful information. But that's still a long time to go.

Stay impactful,

1️⃣ The big picture: Europe is making headlines with its massive $134 billion hydrogen project that has become the planet’s largest construction site. The project showcases hydrogen fuel cells as viable alternatives to diesel generators in the construction industry, with the HS2 project in the UK leading implementation. Companies like GeoPura are partnering with Siemens Energy Ventures to advance hydrogen technology in construction, aiming to replace carbon-intensive energy sources. This initiative marks a significant step toward decarbonizing one of the most polluting sectors and demonstrates how large infrastructure projects can integrate sustainable energy solutions.

2️⃣ Why is this good news: Hydrogen fuel cells produce only water as a byproduct, eliminating carbon emissions entirely from construction power generation. The technology offers a realistic pathway to achieve a zero-emission construction industry, potentially revolutionizing how large-scale infrastructure projects are powered. As production costs decline, these hydrogen solutions become increasingly economically viable for widespread adoption. This shift helps decarbonize one of the world’s most polluting sectors while creating new clean energy jobs. The success of the HS2 project provides a practical blueprint that other construction projects worldwide can follow.

3️⃣ What’s next: GeoPura plans to invest significantly in green hydrogen production facilities to support growing demand. The construction industry must overcome economic challenges including high hydrogen costs compared to diesel and logistical complexities of production and distribution. Continued innovation will be crucial to reduce costs and improve efficiency for widespread hydrogen adoption.
