# Germany’s Hydrogen Strategy
Scope
Measure Description
Domestic Market Development Establishing a strong domestic market for hydrogen production and use to drive
technological advancement and market readiness. Germany aims to install up
to 5 GW of hydrogen production capacity by 2030.
Green Hydrogen Production Focusing on producing hydrogen from renewable sources to ensure long-term
sustainability and decarbonization. Targeting the production of green hydrogen
using 20 TWh of renewable electricity by 2030.
Research and Innovation Investing in research and innovation across the hydrogen value chain to
maintain technological leadership and facilitate market adoption. The
government has allocated €700 million for hydrogen research projects.
International Cooperation Fostering international partnerships to secure hydrogen imports and support
global hydrogen market development. Partnerships with countries like
Morocco, Australia, and Chile are being developed for green hydrogen imports.

# The Netherlands’ Hydrogen Strategy

emission by 49% by 2030 (compared to 1990 levels) and
achieve carbon neutral planned by the REPowerEU ;
►Renewable Energy : The country plans to increase
the share of electricity in final consumption from 20% in
2019 to 50% by 2030, with 75% coming from renewable
resources.
►Hydrogen as a Key Player :
►Hydrogen’s Role : Hydrogen is identified as crucial for
seasonal energy storage, energy transport and providing
« green molecules » for these sectors ;
►Green Hydrogen : Production will increase rely on
offshore wind energy, transitionning from blue hydrogen
(CCS process) to green hydrogen over time.
►Infrastrucuture Development :

HORIZON EUROPE project supported by the Clean Hydrogen Partnership
First transnational Hydrogen Valley in the EU
Area: Friuli Venezia Giulia (IT), Slovenia, Croatia
Partnership (IT): Regional Authority, R&D organisations, industry, SMEs
Aim: common innovation agenda and cooperation projects to accelerate the
deployment of hydrogen-based solutions, strengthening local hydrogen
ecosystems and building inter-regional value chains
17 testbeds which will cover the complete hydrogen value chain from production
to distribution, storage and end-use (hard-to-abate industries, energy and transport
sectors)

2023-2029

AMETHyST: OBJECTIVE
boost uptake of local Alpine green hydrogen ecosystems
bounded territorial system able to
produce renewable energy, use a
share of it to locally produce green
hydrogen and supply it to local
final consumers, all within one or
few neighbouring valleys, to
decarbonize the alpine economy

SECAB citizens’ cooperative based in Paluzza, that owns and manages
the local distribution grid:
• five different hydropower plants (44 GWh/y)
• one PV plant (600 kWp) under construction. It will reduce the purchase
from the national grid over winter and will create an additional surplus
over the rest of the year.

THE CONTEXT

AMETHyST: FVG PILOT
production surplus from hydropower and PV (spring to autumn) to produce hydrogen to run the
snowgroomers
cope with seasonal variation and find more end uses to better match the yearly green hydrogen production
Local public transport could guarantee yearly hydrogen demand (especially in summer), other end uses
under assessment
Zoncolan ski resort could be the first zero-emission ski resort in the Alps

BARRIERS & CHALLENGES
STAKEHOLDERS’ ENGAGEMENT
Low interest in new technology
Lack of knowledge about hydrogen and related processes
Low interest in decarbonization
Low operational capacity
TECHNOLOGY ISSUES
Technologies are available but not scalable (time and costs constraints)
Most solutions are customized and this hinders system integration
Hard to find technology suppliers
Hard to find data and costs
Safety obligations
FINANCING
Low private equity
Low risk acceptance
Lack of business planning
Lack of incentives / public funding

the entire hydrogen value chain
Ø Increasing low-carbon and renewable H2 production, storage and
distribution
Ø The multiplication of end-uses: heavy mobility, industry, energy, mountains,
etc.
Objectives
Ø Decarbonising industry and heavy mobility throughout the value chain by
creating a large low-carbon and renewable hydrogen valley.
Ø The valley will be linked to national and European initiatives to develop
and accelerate the deployment of hydrogen technologies.

TITRE DE LA PRÉSENTATION

ü Regional level, the right level :
o Mobility
o Economic development
o Environment
o Research and Innovation
ü 1/3 of French H2 stakeholders are based in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, and cover the whole value
chain: production, storage, transport, distribution and end uses in mobility and industry
ü Strong political will
ü Clear strategy to support H2 (H2 roadmap in 2020)
ü H2 governance already existing (H2 regional committee), federating role of the Region
ü Strong involvement in European networks (S3 platform, EUSALP, 4Motors4Europe, ERRIN)
ü Zero Emission Valley project (CEF, 2018) to deploy HRS and vehicles : first stone on which we
have built IMAGHyNE
A favourable background
Key success factors

ü « Hydrogen valley » grant is not suffisant to develop investments, so partners need to find
additional fundings (AFIF, Just transition Fund, National funds, ERDF). We have received grants
from CEF and also national funds (ADEME). It’s essential to prove that you have already secured
financing or that you are going to secure the financing of your project.
ü External help of a consultant (anticipated to be ready for submitting the proposal)
ü Discuss with already existing Valleys!
Key success factors
