EnBW has announced an investment of 1 billion euros in Germany's national hydrogen transport network, supporting the country's transition to clean energy sources. The planned infrastructure, set to be operational by 2032, will play a key role in transporting domestically produced and imported hydrogen, offering a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. Germany, aiming to reduce its carbon footprint, is focusing on the importation and production of clean hydrogen to meet its energy needs. Despite limited domestic renewable energy sources, Germany plans to import around 70% of its hydrogen from regions with ample low-cost production capabilities. EnBW's investment is part of a national approval process led by the regulator Bundesnetzagentur, with construction expected to commence in 2025. The project involves repurposing existing natural gas pipelines for hydrogen, with plans to deliver a substantial 278 terawatt hours of hydrogen annually. The funding model includes amortisation accounts and network fees, ensuring a sustainable financing structure for the hydrogen grid expansion.
