Hydrogen: Demand and Procurement Pathways

From the "Time for an Energy Ch2ange" series

Hydrogen demand and procurement pathways; © DVGW

Germany will be dependent on energy and hydrogen imports. Imports can be transported either by pipeline or by ship. When is which method suitable?

At a glance:

  • Hydrogen demand is rising sharply.
  • The global production potential is large, but needs to be harnessed more quickly.
  • Imports make good sense and are cheapest via pipelines from other European countries and neighbouring regions.
  • Even shipping from distant regions can make sense in the case of inexpensive production.
  • Transport options for hydrogen and its derivatives still need to be developed further.
  • Production and import capacities need to be expanded much faster than has been the case to date.
