The German government has unveiled an ambitious hydrogen import strategy to meet the projected demand for up to 500 TWh of hydrogen and 200 TWh of hydrogen derivatives by 2045, with a potential import requirement of up to 70%. The strategy aims to ensure a sustainable, stable, secure, and diversified supply of hydrogen and its derivatives, including ammonia, methanol, and carrier media. It emphasizes the importance of utilizing imported derivatives efficiently and considers the role of existing natural gas infrastructure in reducing costs. The strategy envisions the development of import infrastructures for both molecular hydrogen and its derivatives, highlighting the suitability of pipelines for hydrogen transport and other modes like ships for derivatives and carrier media. International cooperation is crucial for diversifying hydrogen supply sources, with plans to collaborate with partner countries and regions. However, Greenpeace has raised concerns about the inclusion of blue hydrogen, produced from natural gas, in the import strategy. The organization advocates for green hydrogen, produced from renewable sources, as the only truly climate-friendly option. The strategy also outlines the creation of a hydrogen core network in Germany by 2032 and its integration with European and neighboring countries' hydrogen networks. Plans for international connections include cross-border pipelines with Denmark, Norway, and potentially the UK, as well as projects in the Baltic Sea region and the Southwest Corridor. The strategy also focuses on boosting domestic hydrogen demand through support instruments and incentive systems, aligning with EU directives on renewable energy and gas markets. The steel, basic materials, petrochemical industries, and transportation sectors are identified as key areas for hydrogen demand, with the strategy emphasizing research and support in these fields to facilitate the energy transition toward a climate-neutral economy.
