We have published an English summary of our hydrogen report: umweltrat.de/SharedDocs/Dow…
Key messages:
Hydrogen is necessary for #climateneutrality, but needs to be used in an efficient manner. Only #greenhydrogen produced from #renewable power can be produced sustainably.

Blue hydrogen is currently discussed as a bridging technology. In our opinion, it is not sustainable due to residual GHG emissions, insufficient short-term #CCS capacity and the risk of #fossil infrastructure lock-in. Therefore, it should not receive public subsidies.
Stringent certification is necessary to minimize the environmental footprint and social issues of hydrogen. This is both true for imports and European production.
An additionality criterion for renewables can ensure that green hydrogen does indeed reduce carbon emissions.

For now, #hydrogen will stay scarce and expensive. #Electrification is more efficient & cheaper for uses like heating or cars.
Green hydrogen/synthetic fuels should be prioritized where there are no alternatives. This includes steel and chemical industry, aviation and shipping.
