Germany doubles its green hydrogen production target for 2030 in new update of national strategy

The German cabinet has this summer agreed to double the national target for green hydrogen production by 2030 from 5GW to 10GW, in a long-awaited update of its H2 strategy. The 10GW of electrolysers would produce about a million tonnes of green hydrogen annually, the equivalent of 26-35% of Germany's projected hydrogen demand in 2030 — about 33.33TWh out of the 95-130TWh total estimated by the German government.

“The remaining demand is covered by imports. A separate import strategy is being developed,” said the government in a press release.
