The estimated length of the hydrogen network is 9,666 kilometers; roughly 60% of the pipelines will be converted from already-existing gas pipelines because building a new hydrogen pipeline might take five to eight years and Germany intends to cut back on gas use. A €19.7 billion investment is anticipated. The input and output capacity are about 100 GW and 87 GW, respectively.
Simultaneously, as early as 2030, imports are predicted to meet 50–70% of the hydrogen requirement. Consequently, a number of import locations from nearby nations (such Denmark, Norway, or the Netherlands) are intended for northwest Germany.
BNetzA predicts that Germany's natural gas consumption will continue to decline by 2045 in order to accomplish the climate neutrality target. However, it is imperative to guarantee that the remaining pipeline network can accommodate the anticipated demand for natural gas.
The agency will verify that the projects meet all legal requirements, including the need for big users, storage facilities, and hydrogen producers to be connected to each other and to the European hydrogen network. The applications will be accepted in two months.
