3.3 Hydrogen Transportation
The reasons why the import of green energy will play a decisive role in supplying Germany and other industrialised countries in the future were explained in the first section of this chapter. To realise the import of large amounts of green energy from regions with a particularly high renewable energy potential to Germany, the transport of green, hydrogen-based energy carriers is necessary. In addition, transport infrastructures are also needed to supply individual consumers and connect them to storage facilities. In this section, the most important options for the transport of hydrogen and its derivatives are presented.
Building an infrastructure for hydrogen - Example
In the following you will see six exemplary projects in Northern Germany, that tackle the ramp-up of an infrastructure for storage and transportation of hydrogen and / or it's derivates. All projects are currently in the planning phase and have not yet been implemented.
