How much green hydrogen will we need in which sectors in the future? How much of it can we produce ourselves or do we have to import it? And why is the market ramp-up going so slowly? We talk about this with Dr. Dana Kirchem from the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW) and Prof. Daniel Banuti from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). Green hydrogen, produced by #electrolysis from renewable energies, is indispensable for the energy transition. The aim is to achieve an electrolysis capacity of 10 GW by 2030 and to make Germany's industry CO₂-neutral in the long term. Challenges in ramping up the hydrogen market 1. Generation capacities and infrastructure - The current #electrolysis capacities are insufficient for the planned quantities of green hydrogen. The federal government is planning to expand renewable energies, but the necessary infrastructure, such as pipelines and storage capacities, is not yet available in sufficient quantities. The Federal Network Agency recently approved the construction of the hydrogen core network. For around 60% of the core hydrogen network, pipes from the existing gas network are to be used and converted. Large-scale projects such as the AquaDuctus pipeline in the North Sea and imports from regions with more favorable production conditions such as North Africa and Southern Europe are also being pursued, but these projects are still in the early stages of development. 2. High production costs - Green hydrogen is currently more expensive than conventional "grey" hydrogen, which is produced from fossil fuels. Investments and economies of scale are necessary to become economically attractive. The strong dependence on the price of renewable energies and the efficiency of electrolysis technology also affect the competitiveness of green hydrogen. So far, the decisive steps on the supply and demand side to drive the market ramp-up are missing. 3. Import dependency - Since Germany will probably have to import up to 70% of its hydrogen needs to meet demand in the long term, there is a dependency on international supply chains and partners. 4. Regulatory and political challenges - Building a hydrogen economy in Germany requires the harmonization of national and European standards and regulations. This is complex and can cause delays due to different political interests in Europe. In the Geladen podcast, Patrick Rosen and Daniel Messling and their guests scientifically examine the topics of #energy transition, #electromobility, #electric cars and #batteries. The podcast is produced by the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). Geladen mugs, shirts & caps: https://geladen-der-batteriepodcast.m...
