Hydrogen can be produced with no greenhouse gas emissions if the process is powered by renewable energy, or by fossil fuels when the resulting carbon is captured and stored. According to Australia's Clean Energy Finance Corporation, hydrogen can enable the "deep decarbonisation of notoriously difficult-to-abate sectors" – particularly manufacturing.
Karliczek said Germany had identified a hydrogen demand of about 1000 TWh per year by 2030, which is equivalent to about 3 million tonnes. "The costs will ultimately be a decisive factor – especially the costs of the renewable electricity needed. I am therefore convinced that countries which, like Australia, have excellent conditions for the cost-effective production of green hydrogen will continue to play an important role as partners for Germany in the long term."
The German government's national hydrogen strategy states that only green hydrogen is considered sustainable in the long term. "Another technological option would be to replace diesel from fossil sources with climate-neutral, synthetic fuels," she said.
