Germany has an advanced hydrogen strategy and the country is working hard on its implementation. Probably more than a quarter of state funding committed by all 17 countries with hydrogen strategies to date is provided by the German government.
Germany considers only hydrogen produced from renewable electricity to be sustainable in the long term and thus favors green hydrogen. Nevertheless, the precision of the role of already less expensive low-carbon hydrogen (blue and turquoise) as a bridging technology is pending.
As a country with an advanced hydrogen research landscape, Germany seeks to become a leader and exporter of green hydrogen technologies.
Germany expects to stay an energy importer and is building international partnerships to secure its future hydrogen supply.
