The climate targets are clear: Germany is to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2045. That will only be possible if not only the power sector, but also the energy sector as a whole becomes climate-neutral. Hydrogen will be one of the keys to this transformation of the German energy market. Gas infrastructure must be fit for the transmission and distribution of hydrogen and  will need to be modified and converted as necessary.

At a glance:

  • New fuels such as hydrogen will replace natural gas.
  • Gas grids were already used to carry hydrogen in the past.
  • Gas pipelines are largely H2-ready.
  • Storage facilities can be modified.
  • Individual components and plants are critical points.
  • The groundwork for hydrogen transmission and Distribution is already being laid.
