German energy provider EWE has started the construction of a cavern for [hydrogen storage in Rüdersdorf, near Berlin](https://www.pv-magazine.com/2020/12/18/german-gas-provider-builds-cavern-for-hydrogen-storage/).
The cavern storage facility will have a capacity of 500 cubic meters, which corresponds to the volume of a single-family house. The company is working with the German Aerospace Center (DLR) on this project.
The DLR Institute for Networked Energy Systems will examine, among other things, the quality of the hydrogen during storage and after it has been extracted from the cavern.
In the first stage of the project, EWE will build a derrick on an existing borehole and this work is expected to take a week. The utility will then install and cement a steel pipe from the surface to a depth of 1,000 meters by the beginning of April. This will connect the pilot cavern with the earth's surface.
“In the context of the research project, we particularly hope to gain knowledge of the degree of purity of the hydrogen after it has been withdrawn from the cavern,” said EWE project manager Hayo Seeba. This factor is crucial for the use of hydrogen in the mobility sector.
The knowledge that the small pilot cavern will provide should be easily transferable to caverns with a volume that is 1,000 times higher, the company went on to say. The aim is to use caverns with a volume of 500,000 cubic meters for large scale hydrogen storage in the future.
EWE owns 37 salt caverns that represent 15% of all German cavern storage facilities that could be suitable for storing hydrogen in the future. “This would mean that large quantities of green hydrogen generated from renewable energies could be stored and used as required and would become an indispensable component in order to achieve set climate targets,” Seeba added.
Scientists at Germany’s [Jülich Institute for Energy and Climate Research](https://www.pv-magazine.com/2015/01/23/industry-urges-european-pv-research-sector-to-wake-up_100017914/) (IEK-3) recently revealed that Europe has the potential to inject hydrogen in bedded salt deposits and salt domes with a [total energy storage capacity of 84.8 PWh](https://www.pv-magazine.com/2020/06/16/hydrogen-storage-in-salt-caverns/). Most of these salt caverns are concentrated in northern Europe, at offshore and onshore locations. Germany accounts for the largest share, followed by the [Netherlands](https://www.pv-magazine.com/2019/12/13/hydrogen-production-as-an-antidote-to-grid-constraints-in-northern-netherlands/), the United Kingdom, [Norway](https://www.pv-magazine.com/2020/06/11/norway-extends-support-for-rooftop-pv/), [Denmark](https://www.pv-magazine.com/2019/12/20/denmark-bets-on-green-hydrogen/), and Poland. Other potential sites are in Romania, [France](https://www.pv-magazine.com/2019/11/18/engie-and-air-liquide-join-forces-to-develop-green-hydrogen/), [Spain](https://www.pv-magazine.com/2019/05/09/spains-balearic-islands-to-host-10-mw-hydrogen-project/), and Portugal.
“[Germany](https://www.pv-magazine.com/2020/04/23/north-german-pilot-hydrogen-project-gets-cash-boost/) has the highest storage potential in both onshore and offshore contexts,” the group said.

## [Fraunhofer Society presents hydrogen roadmap for Germany](https://blog.breiterplanet.com/hydrogen/fraunhofer-society-presents-hydrogen-roadmap-for-germany)

While the German government is postponing the adoption of a national hydrogen strategy time and time again, the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft is presenting: The researchers have now presented a hydrogen roadmap that outlines a path for the introduction and development of the hydrogen economy in the various fields of application. They rely entirely on green hydrogen, which is produced using renewable energies - [unlike the Federal Ministry of Economics, which also believes that the production of blue hydrogen obtained from natural gas makes sense for a transition phase](https://www.pv-magazine.de/2019/11/05/nationale-wasserstoffstrategie-bedarf-an-gruenem-und-blauem-wasserstoff-aus-dem-in-und-ausland/) .
[The Fraunhofer position paper](https://www.ise.fraunhofer.de/content/dam/ise/de/documents/publications/studies/2019-10_Fraunhofer_Wasserstoff-Roadmap_fuer_Deutschland.pdf?utm_source=mailing&utm_campaign=2020-pi-04-de) shows different paths of the market ramp-up and suggests possible measures for realizing this market development. These include an adjustment of the regulatory framework for taxes, levies and levies on electricity and the promotion of demonstration projects. Internationally uniform regulations and standards on hydrogen should also be created and regulatory barriers for fuel cell vehicles and hydrogen filling stations removed. Last but not least, it is important to invest in research in order to reduce costs and increase the longevity of the technologies.
"From our point of view, the technology basis of the entire value chain exists," says Christopher Hebling, Head of Hydrogen Technologies at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE. "Now it is important to set the course in such a way that the scale-up for the implementation of further cost reductions and the accumulation of operating experience succeed."
The Fraunhofer researchers are convinced that water electrolysis is of central industrial political importance in Germany - not only with regard to the generation of the required hydrogen, but also as a flexibility option in the power grid and as a core technology for the international export market. For Germany alone, studies assume that installed capacity will grow to 50 to 80 gigawatts by 2050. In order to achieve this, the performance of the electrolysers installed in Germany must grow immediately by double-digit megawatt values, the researchers demand. By the end of this decade, annual growth in the range of one gigawatt must be achieved.
**New international energy partnerships**
In their roadmap, the Fraunhofer researchers also make it clear that close international cooperation is essential for the development of a hydrogen economy. Production on an industrial scale could arise above all where the cost of electricity from photovoltaic and wind power plants is less than 3 cents per kilowatt hour and the number of full load hours is at least 4,000 per year. This would make it possible to produce hydrogen and synthesis products based on it at internationally competitive costs. Similar to LNG, hydrogen could be shipped in liquid form to Germany and other importing countries. Alternatively, it could also be transported in chemically bound form, such as ammonia, methanol or LOHC (Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carriers).
"Many regions in the world are preparing for this form of trading in sustainably produced energy sources and basic chemicals, which will enable Germany to have further energy partnerships beyond the previous fossil energy partnerships," says Mario Ragwitz, head of the Fraunhofer Institute for Energy Infrastructures and Geothermal Energy IEG.
The expected global hydrogen demand opens up attractive export opportunities for German industry - another argument for the development of a strong home market. The Fraunhofer researchers expect that 2050 electrolysis capacities of 3000 gigawatts will be installed worldwide. The scientists estimate the possible added value for German manufacturers in electrolysis and fuel cells at around 32 billion euros.
The Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research ISI and the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE, with the participation of the Fraunhofer Institute for Microstructure of Materials and Systems IMWS and the Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems, were in charge of the hydrogen roadmap IKTS.

The study is also intended to investigate the legal framework necessary for the industrial use of green hydrogen.

Germany, the Netherlands and North Rhine-Westphalia have commissioned a feasibility study on the creation of a transnational value chain for green hydrogen from the North Sea to industrial clusters in the border area of the Netherlands and North Rhine-Westphalia. The study is scheduled to be released later this year.
Specifically, experts from the project management organizations - on the German side this is Forschungszentrum Jülich and an institution to be named, on the Dutch side the national organization for applied natural science research TNO - have been commissioned to develop possible business cases for the production of green hydrogen by using a Dutch one -to examine German production and transport infrastructure for hydrogen.
In addition, they are intended to probe the interest of industry in green hydrogen and potential areas of application, and to present the existing legal framework in connection with the production, transport, trading and use of green hydrogen. In addition, they are commissioned to analyze which legal framework conditions have to be created in order to be able to create transnational business cases for green hydrogen.
**Draft National Hydrogen Strategy**
In the meantime, the central contents of the National Hydrogen Strategy by Federal Minister of Economics Peter Altmaier (CDU) have become known. The federal government actually wanted to present the strategy by the end of last year. The minister's draft is now in the departmental vote.
[As the "Spiegel" reports as the first medium](https://www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/soziales/energiewende-peter-altmaier-will-globale-vorreiterrolle-bei-co2-freiem-wasserstoff-a-f05471a8-620e-4e05-970c-bf609aee0ae0) , the strategy envisages that by 2030 a total of 20 percent of the hydrogen consumed in this country should be "green" - i.e. generated by electrolysis with solar or wind power. To this end, the Federal Government wants to promote the installation of electrolysers with an output of three to five gigawatts.
Investments in the infrastructure for the distribution of hydrogen are also to be supported. A particular focus will be on expanding the network of filling stations and on supplying industry. Research into the production and use of the energy source should also be promoted more strongly. The draft strategy assumes that Germany cannot meet the demand for climate-friendly hydrogen on its own. Therefore, the Federal Republic should enter into energy partnerships, especially with African countries.
The summary of the "Spiegel" allows the conclusion that the Federal Ministry of Economics is now completely on green hydrogen. In November Altmaier, together with three ministerial colleagues, published a contribution to the discussion on the National Hydrogen Strategy, which emphasized the importance of "CO2-free" hydrogen for the energy transition. [The ministers subsumed “CO2-free” in addition to those from green electricity electrolysis, but also hydrogen from natural gas in combination with CCS technologies - so-called blue hydrogen. ](https://www.pv-magazine.de/2019/11/05/nationale-wasserstoffstrategie-bedarf-an-gruenem-und-blauem-wasserstoff-aus-dem-in-und-ausland/)According to the four ministers, the energy turnaround requires “CO2-free hydrogen in the full range of its possibilities in the medium to long term”.
