Hydrogen march?! The German Hunger for H2 Imports

PowerShift Podcast Climate Policy

With hydrogen, Germany wants to make its industry more climate-friendly. A large part of the hydrogen is to be imported. This is exactly what the German government is currently working on with its hydrogen import strategy. In this episode, our moderator Antonia Vangelista talks to Neelke Wagner, PowerShift's climate and resource justice officer, about whether hydrogen is an overestimated energy source and what rules it takes to ensure that the import of hydrogen is fair.
