The German government, through its Economy Ministry, is pushing to accelerate the expansion of the country's hydrogen sector with a focus on green hydrogen. A draft bill has been introduced to address the challenges in the sector and facilitate the development of a robust hydrogen infrastructure. This infrastructure is crucial for transforming industries like steel and chemicals to become more climate-neutral by replacing fossil fuels with hydrogen. The bill aims to streamline planning, approval, and procurement processes for various hydrogen facilities such as electrolyzers, import facilities, pipelines, and storage. By deeming these facilities of 'overriding public interest,' the government hopes to speed up procedures and eliminate bureaucratic hurdles. The establishment of a 'core network' for hydrogen is part of the plan to overcome the current obstacles faced in the sector. Despite the current limitations in availability and high costs of hydrogen, the government remains positive about the potential of green hydrogen to drive the country's energy transition and contribute to a more sustainable future.
