It complements the ongoing HAP initiative and establishes an actionable plan which can easily be replicated amongst the G7 countries and beyond." Using the example of the partnership between Germany and Australia, this action plan shows which steps need to be taken in detail. However, we also need the right framework conditions and political support to achieve this. Covestro and other industry partners are in the starting blocks to get the hydrogen economy up and running. Klaus Schäfer, Chief Technology Officer and member of the Board of Management of Covestro, said, "Green hydrogen is a central building block for the transformation of the chemical industry towards climate neutrality. We are committed to supporting the effort to decarbonise Germany's economy by leveraging Linde's knowledge, experience and technology along the entire hydrogen value chain, from production and storage to transportation and application."ĭr. Clean hydrogen has an important role to play in the energy transition, but we need to have the right framework, incentives and infrastructure in place to make it actionable as a lever to decarbonisation. Juergen Nowicki, Executive Vice President Linde and CEO of Linde Engineering, said, "For an industrialized nation such as Germany it is of utmost importance to secure reliable and affordable energy. This deserves a high level of political support." In the long term, this strengthens climate protection, independence from Russian gas and the competitiveness of our industries. For this, the development of a reasonable green hydrogen environment must be given priority. Patrick Lammers, COO at E.ON, said, "We are determined to implement the green transformation of the economy. We bring our expertise in industrial-scale hydrogen applications like green ammonia for enabling the worldwide export/import of clean energy." Cord Landsmann, CEO of thyssenkrupp Uhde, said, "The future of energy needs the right partnerships and the right technologies. This must lead to an accelerated energy transition, especially regarding the development of a green hydrogen economy, which will help to decarbonise as well as to diversify energy supply.ĭr. The Russian war on Ukraine has in addition created a new reality. With this responsibility in mind, the industry stands ready to do its part. The UN IPCC report has recommended reducing fossil fuel production to keep temperature increases under 1.5 degrees and halt the worst impacts of global warming. The recommendations to the German government include: developing subsidies and incentives to remove the "First Mover Disadvantage" encouraging sources of low-cost capital to scale the industry, and underwriting equipment manufacturers expansion plans to meet developer's needs.Ĭlimate change has become a dramatic reality of our times with visible impacts on all continents and all countries. The companies in the taskforce are ready to move on green energy through serious investment and will work with Government to achieve these goals together. The G7 meeting will discuss hydrogen and has already developed a G7 Hydrogen Action Pact (G7 HAP) which will form part of the final G7 communique. The roadmap could potentially serve as an example for other nations looking for solutions at the upcoming G7 meeting. The green hydrogen roadmap developed by the Taskforce consists of a 10-point plan and a White Paper and is intended to outline a constructive pathway forward in Germany for business and government. The Green Hydrogen Taskforce, created earlier this year, is a collaborative effort between FFI, and some of the strongest energy, industrial, and technology companies in Germany, including Covestro, E.ON, Linde, Luthardt, SAP, Schaeffler, thyssenkrupp Nucera and thyssenkrupp Uhde. BERLIN and PERTH, Australia, J/PRNewswire/ - Today a leading group of German companies along with Australia's Fortescue Future Industries (FFI) has released a green hydrogen roadmap, outlining a set of recommendations for government and industry, to meet the ambitious target of importing large amounts of green hydrogen from Australia to Germany.
