H2 readiness of German industry

Unleashing opportunities in the wake of the latest market developments

Given the recent shifts in supply, infrastructure advancements, regulatory frameworks, and cost dynamics, it is crucial to thoroughly assess the readiness of German industry to embrace hydrogen as a key energy carrier. Looking at the German industry's expansion of the necessary infrastructure, it can be observed that the planned hydrogen supply will not be sufficient to reach every market participant, leaving Germany’s south undersupplied.

Currently, 120 hydrogen projects are in planning, under construction or already in operation in Germany, providing around five gigawatts (GW) of electrolysis capacity. By 2030, this capacity could grow to 30 GW. While large parts of the country are to be supplied with a 5,100 km pipeline network, a double supply gap is emerging in the south.
