The German Federal Cabinet has given the green light to the import strategy for hydrogen and its derivatives as part of the country's national hydrogen policy. With an anticipated national demand of 95 to 130 TWh by 2030, of which 50 to 70% may need to be imported, Germany is preparing for potential increases in demand to 360 to 500 TWh by 2045. The strategy aims to secure Germany's import needs and ensure a sustainable and diversified supply of hydrogen. The Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection is actively promoting a diversified product range for hydrogen import, including derivatives like ammonia and methanol, as well as carrier media such as LOHC. The government is also focusing on developing import infrastructure for different modes of transport like pipelines and ships. To secure the supply sources, Germany is engaging in talks with various partner countries, regions, and players to enhance the import of hydrogen and its derivatives. The government is involved in over 30 climate and energy partnerships and dialogues, aiming to create a reliable and stable market for hydrogen products. This strategy not only benefits German industry but also provides investment security for hydrogen production in partner countries. In a related development, transmission system operators have applied for the construction of the German hydrogen core network, with approvals expected to pave the way for the network's development starting from next year.
