Green hydrogen (H2) plays a key role in the transformation of the energy and raw materials supply towards climate neutrality. For this reason, ambitious targets have already been set for the production and use of climate-friendly hydrogen by 2030, in Germany as well as in the EU and most of its member states. Political strategies at all levels rely heavily on imports to meet demand:
Yet the question remains as to which countries will actually be able to supply hydrogen in relevant quantities until 2030.
The aim of this short study, which was commissioned by the State Association for Renewable Energies NRW, is therefore to investigate the extent to which other – particularly European – countries will be able to do this in the foreseeable future. The study sheds light on the current state of the H2 ramp-up in Europe and the achievement of the H2 targets as well as the progress of important production and infrastructure projects. On this basis, the Authors assess the prospects for relevant H2 imports to Germany until 2030. The study focuses on the following analyses:
