Hydrogen marching?! The German hunger for H2 imports

# 45

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. The Federal Government is currently working on this 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 carrier and what rules are needed to ensure that the import of hydrogen is fair.
