Germany has recently adopted a hydrogen imports strategy following the revision of its national hydrogen strategy. With a growing demand for clean hydrogen to meet decarbonization goals, Germany anticipates that up to 70% of its hydrogen demand will need to be fulfilled through imports due to limited domestic production capacity. The country aims to be climate neutral by 2045 and has set ambitious targets for clean hydrogen consumption by 2030. To achieve this, the import strategy prioritizes pipeline transportation from neighboring countries and shipping ammonia as the most efficient and cost-effective methods. While considering other import options like liquid organic hydrogen carriers, Germany is cautious about their energy penalties and infrastructure requirements. The strategy emphasizes prioritizing emission-reduction merits over color distinctions to ensure the timely availability of competitively priced imported hydrogen in the domestic market.
