Oxford Institute for Energy Studies – Germany’s Hydrogen Ambitions in Late 2024: Taking Stock, Nov 2024

The Oxford Institute for Energy Studies' report "Germany’s Hydrogen Ambitions in Late 2024: Taking Stock" provides a comprehensive analysis of Germany's progress towards establishing a clean hydrogen economy. The report examines developments across four key areas: consumption, domestic production, imports, and infrastructure. It highlights the implementation of innovative support mechanisms, such as carbon contracts-for-difference (CCfD), and plans for hydrogen-fired power generation. Despite these advancements, the report notes challenges, including political uncertainties following the collapse of the governing coalition and the need for enhanced policy frameworks to achieve Germany's hydrogen targets.
