DVGW demands that hydrogen and green gases be considered more strongly than before in future-oriented topics.
Regarding the “Economic Recovery and Employment” program presented today by the Federal Government,
Prof. Dr. Gerald Linke, Chairman of the Board of the DVGW German Technical and Scientific Association for Gas and Water, says:
The Federal Government presented its ‘Economic Recovery and Employment’ program today.
”The proposals for reducing bureaucracy – for example, regarding deemed approvals – as well as additional financial resources for energy resilience via the Germany Fund, are welcome.”
However, the program’s infrastructure measures still focus too heavily on electricity grids. Many industrial plants, power stations, and buildings require hydrogen and biomethane. Therefore, gas and hydrogen infrastructure must be urgently considered in the planned grid expansion package when discussing the expansion of renewable energies and distribution networks.
Without a doubt, hydrogen and green gases are key to the future. Their ramp-up involves the development of new technologies that can create jobs, secure prosperity, and, not least, ensure our country’s energy supply. Hydrogen, too, is “Made in Germany.” If the German government speaks of regaining technological leadership, it should further accelerate this ramp-up. Some progress has already been made, but the journey is not yet over. The DVGW (German Technical and Scientific Association for Gas and Water) has clearly outlined this in a two-page report .
