Germany Hydrogen Energy Feste Wasserstoffspeicherung
Die Wasserstoffspeicherung ist die umkehrbare Aufbewahrung von Wasserstoff mit dem Ziel, dessen chemische und physikalische Eigenschaften für eine weitere Verwendung zu erhalten. Die Speicherung umfasst die Vorgänge der Einspeicherung oder Speicherbeladung, der zeitlich befristeten Lagerung und der Ausspeicherung oder Speicherentladung
What is Germany's national hydrogen Strat-Egy?
In its “National Hydrogen Strat-egy”, the German government formulates clear goals for the energy transition including hydrogen. In order to guarantee security of supply the underground storage of hydrogen is increasingly moving into the focus of policy-makers and key stakeholders.
How does Germany store hydrogen?
Germany already has extensive experience in storing natural gas to cover supply shortages in the medium term. Some of this experience can also be applied to hydrogen. In general, there are two main underground storage options for hydrogen: (1) porous media such as aquifers or depleted gas reservoirs and (2) underground caverns in salt or rock.
Why are green hydrogen technologies important in Germany?
German companies are well positioned to benefit from this growth. Green hydrogen technologies are therefore of utmost importance for ensuring the future viability of Germany as a location for business and industry. In light of this fact, the Federal Government adopted the National Hydrogen Strategy in June 2020.
Why is Germany pursuing a Green Hydrogen strategy?
While previous international efforts aimed at promoting Ger-many’s policies and technologies abroad, its hydrogen strategy includes an import-oriented dimension. Germany positioned itself early in this field, seeking to secure green hydrogen to decarbonize its domestic industry and to promote its electrolyzer industry.
Why is hydrogen important for Germany?
Germany will remain dependent on energy imports in future, but we want to end our reliance on suppliers of fossil fuels such as natural gas, oil and coal. Hydrogen makes it possible to import green energy from the world’s regions that are rich in sunshine and wind. Doing so will also diversify our energy imports. What is green hydrogen?
Will Green Hydrogen play a role in the future?
In certain sectors, green hydrogen will play an important role in the future, as is envisioned in the revised National Hydrogen Strategy recently presented by the German Federal Government. This Weekly Report discusses important changes in this strategy compared to the first National Hydrogen Strategy from 2020.
