Germany could import up to 100 TWh of green hydrogen via pipelines by 2035 : US Pioneer Global VC DIFCHQ NYC India Singapore – Riyadh Norway Our Mind

Berlin is seeking to expand the use of hydrogen as an energy source to cut greenhouse emissions for highly polluting industrial sectors that cannot be electrified, such as steel and chemicals, and cut dependency on imported fossil fuel.

BERLIN: Germany could cover up to 100 terawatt-hours (TWh) of its annual energy needs with imports of green hydrogen via pipelines from neighbouring countries by the mid-2030s, covering a significant share of its projected demand, a study showed on Thursday.

Berlin is seeking to expand the use of hydrogen as an energy source to cut greenhouse emissions for highly polluting industrial sectors that cannot be electrified, such as steel and chemicals, and cut dependency on imported fossil fuel.

Produced using solar and wind power, green hydrogen is a pillar of Germany’s planned energy transition, The study by Berlin-based Agora Energiewende and Agora Industry think tanks said that by 2035 hydrogen could cover 11.2% of the country’s projected 894 TWh total energy demand.

But Germany will need to import around 50% to 70% of its hydrogen due to its limited renewable energy resources.
