“This is a groundbreaking decision: Germany is at the forefront of hydrogen infrastructure expansion in Europe. The approval is very good news because it gives potential producers, consumers and traders of hydrogen planning security <\/em>.” <\/p>\n\n Dr. Thomas G\u00f6\u00dfmann, Chairman of the Board FNB Gas e.V.: <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n “With the hydrogen core network, we are laying the foundation for a new energy system. It offers a historic opportunity for Germany to position itself as a pioneer in the hydrogen economy. In doing so, we are making an advance contribution as transmission system operators and creating the basis for a climate-neutral industry and energy supply. The development of the H2 market is now a joint task: all players are required to actively drive forward the ramp-up. Especially in the current economic situation, this requires a conducive framework to trigger private investment along the entire H2 value chain.” <\/em> <\/p>\n\n The most important key points at a glance:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n Over the past 19 months, politicians, the Federal Network Agency and grid operators have worked together to lay the foundations for the hydrogen core grid. Hydrogen is the only option for decarbonization for key German industries such as the steel and chemical industries; it also represents an important flexibility option for the electricity supply and can be used in the heating and transport sectors. <\/p>\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/fnb-gas.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/20241020_Tenor_mit-Logo-780x1024.png\"){kind=logo}
