Germany Adopts Hydrogen Import Strategy
The German federal government has adopted a comprehensive hydrogen import strategy to meet the growing demand of the industry and energy sector. Due to limited domestic production, Germany will heavily rely on imports in the future. Federal Minister of Economics Robert Habeck emphasized that by 2030, around 50 to 70 percent of the hydrogen demand will need to be met from abroad. The strategy supports the development of the necessary infrastructure for imports as well as investments in partner countries that supply climate-neutral hydrogen.
An important aspect of Germany’s hydrogen import strategy is the use of both green and low-carbon hydrogen in the initial phase. Imports are expected to come through pipelines from Europe and by ship from more distant regions. This hydrogen import strategy is a central part of Germany’s plans to create a climate-neutral economy.
