A recent study by Agora Energiewende and Agora Industrie suggests that Germany could fulfill a substantial part of its future hydrogen demand by importing green hydrogen from neighbouring countries, predominantly through pipelines. The study projects an estimated national hydrogen demand of 95-130 TWh by 2030, with a significant portion expected to be green hydrogen. Given Germany's limited renewable energy resources, the study proposes meeting around 50-70% of the total demand through imports. The study emphasizes that pipeline transport is the most cost-effective option due to its low energy losses and mature technology, compared to ship transport that involves intermediate products and high energy losses. By expanding pipelines, Germany could potentially import 60 to 100 TWh of green hydrogen by the mid-2030s, playing a vital role in achieving climate neutrality. The study explores various pipeline corridors, with imports from North Sea countries deemed promising in the near term due to logistical advantages. Furthermore, the study suggests the conversion of existing natural gas pipelines into hydrogen to reduce initial investment costs. Germany's government has initiated a hydrogen import strategy involving multiple transport modes, but it faces criticism for allowing low-carbon hydrogen imports initially instead of a clear commitment to green hydrogen. The strategy aims to develop import infrastructure for both pipeline and ship transport to enable imports from regions inaccessible by pipelines. The study stresses the importance of quick agreements between stakeholders to ensure timely delivery of green hydrogen to meet Germany's sustainable energy goals.
