Germany's Federal Network Agency, BNetzA, recently approved a major hydrogen network project proposed by transmission system operators (TSOs) with an estimated investment of €18.9 billion. This project involves the development of 9,040 km of hydrogen transport lines, with the ambitious goal of converting around 60% of existing gas pipelines to transport hydrogen and constructing 40% new lines. The timeline for this project spans from the planned conversion starting in 2025 to full operation by 2032. The network intends to interconnect various hydrogen clusters across Germany while also facilitating connections with neighboring countries, emphasizing collaboration in the European hydrogen market. In addition to the network project, Germany has been focusing on an import strategy for hydrogen and its derivatives. The country foresees importing up to 70% of its hydrogen demand by 2030, aiming for approximately 90 TWh out of a total demand of 130 TWh. To support this goal, Germany has plans to establish 8.8 GW of hydrogen plants by 2035, further underlining its commitment to sustainable energy solutions and reducing carbon emissions. The European Commission's approval of a €3 billion state aid scheme for the Hydrogen Core Network construction aligns with Germany's strategic initiatives in the hydrogen sector. These developments reflect a positive outlook on hydrogen as a key component of Germany's energy transition and sustainability efforts, emphasizing the country's proactive approach towards integrating hydrogen into its energy landscape for a greener future.
