The hydrogen market in Germany is progressing, with E.ON's 'H2-Bilanz' highlighting the crucial role of public funding in driving investments. The report reveals that IPCEI funding decisions have increased production capacity by 9%, reaching 11.3 gigawatts. However, concerns remain about the sustainability of this growth without further financial support. Electrolysis capacity has also surged by 68% since February, indicating a trend towards larger projects in the future. The analysis delves into import capacity, projecting over 270 terawatt hours of hydrogen annually by 2032, aligning with German targets. The approval of a 9,040-kilometer hydrogen core network by 2032 showcases infrastructure advancements. In contrast, hydrogen cars are declining in the mobility sector, with a shift towards electric vehicles, while hydrogen trucks and tractor units are on the rise, particularly in heavy goods transport. E.ON's Managing Director, Gabriël Clemens, emphasizes the need for affordable hydrogen offers to support market growth. Despite progress, challenges persist due to restrictive definitions of green and low-carbon hydrogen, impacting cost and market accessibility. The report paints a positive outlook for hydrogen infrastructure development in Germany, urging continued public funding to drive the sector forward.
