Germany you will see the sprout energy from the subsurface: The route will be approximately 10,000 kilometers long. The energy transition to renewable sources is a global imperative arising from the need to limit climate change. An urgency that has led energy experts to look for sources of energy supply in the least expected places, such as the subsoil of Africa or, as in this case, in that of Germany.
The energy transition is the process of changing from fossil fuel-based methods to systems dominated by renewable energy such as solar energy, wind energy, hydropower and other forms of clean energy. This is a crucial change to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and other environmental pollutants. Renewable energy offers numerous benefits, including reducing emissions, improving air quality and creating jobs.
Likewise, they are vital for energy security, as they diversify energy sources and reduce dependence on fossil fuel imports. The energy transition is much more than an environmental issue. It also has to do with a change on an economic and social level. In this context Germany It plays a fundamental role: 10,000 kilometers of energy comes from the subsurface.
Germany looks closely at this energy coming from the subsurface: it is 10,000 kilometers long
Germany authorizes the development of a 9,040 kilometer long infrastructure for green hydrogen. The infrastructure could be put into use in 2032, after adapting 60% of the current gas network and new construction of the remaining 40%. German authorities have approved the construction of a 9,040 kilometer pipeline infrastructure, which according to German authorities will require an investment of 18.9 billion euros. Federal Network Agencydepending on Ministry of Economic Affairs.
“With the basic hydrogen network approved, network operators can now gradually build and operate hydrogen infrastructure,” he said in a statement. Klaus Mullerthe chairman of the Federal Network Agency. The expert announced that the conversion of the first lines will start next year.
The 9,040 kilometers of pipelines are what the authorities love Germany They determine a ‘basic network’ from which a network should be launched that uses hydrogen as an energy source. Germany consists of 16 states that would be connected by this green hydrogen network, envisaged by the Minister of Economy German is one of the axes of the energy transition that the Central European country is currently developing.
Germany is committed to the ‘energy of the future’: green hydrogen
He Government of the chancellor Olaf Scholz look for that Germanythe largest economy of Europe and third globally, to become a climate neutral country from now until 2045, a goal to which the use of hydrogen as an energy source will contribute.
Germany you get the first hydrogen from gas pipelines in 2025after approval by the Federal Network Agency of the country’s central hydrogen network. “The first gas pipelines of the central network will be put into use next year,” said the Minister of Economy Robert Habeckduring a press conference. And he added: “The core network is the starting point of a new infrastructure and a central part of the energy transition. This is converted to Germany a pioneer in the field of Europe”.
About 60% of the network will be converted from gas to hydrogen and the remaining 40% will be rebuilt. Only gas pipelines that are no longer needed for the transport of fossil fuels are transformed. As explained Klaus Müller, director of BNetzA at the press conference they will invest an additional 2 billion euros in additional gas pipelines to guarantee security of supply.
Germany will see this energy emerge from the subsurface in the hope of contributing to the global energy transition. The same panorama that this region would like to achieve, which has found energy underground for millennia and could supply all of humanity.
