Berlin has approved Germany’s hydrogen import strategy to bring up to 2.73 million tonnes of low-carbon hydrogen into the country by 2030. The updated hydrogen strategy outlines that 50-70% of Germany's 2030 hydrogen demand may be met by imports, with a focus on various carriers including pure hydrogen, ammonia, and methanol. The strategy also considers utilizing hydrogen pipelines and shipping, particularly for regions without pipeline connectivity. By 2045, the country's hydrogen demand could rise to 500TWh, with an additional 200TWh for hydrogen derivatives. Germany aims to collaborate with other European nations to address regulatory issues and enhance infrastructure. Federal Minister Robert Habeck believes the import strategy demonstrates Germany's stable hydrogen demand and reliability as a hydrogen market partner. The strategy's approval aligns with the country's efforts towards an energy transition, economic growth through hydrogen technologies, and international cooperation for sustainable energy solutions.
