The centerpiece of the National Strategy is a catalog of 31 measures, which include the areas of generation, industry, infrastructure, transport, heating and research. As a "first step", the Federal Government wants to boost "domestic hydrogen production and use".
The results indicate that 25% (by volume) hydrogen can be added to natural gas without significant impacts.
When considering what a global energy system on a 1.5°C or 2°C pathway will look like by 2050, hydrogen consistently plays a critical role as a low-carbon fuel. In fact, for several industrial application areas, there are no other viable pathways to decarbonization.
The technology group Bosch is expanding its stake in the British company Ceres Power and wants to accelerate the development of stationary fuel cell systems, for example for the operation of electric charging parks.
