Folie 5 German „National Hydrogen Strategy“ (June 2020)

▪ Minister of Economic Affairs : “We want Germany to become number 1 in the world when it comes to hydrogen technologies.”

▪ Main facts:

o Green hydrogen: Blue/Turquoise hydrogen for transition phase

o Corona Stimulus Package: 7 bn Euros for German market startingphase, 2 bn Euros for international partnerships (9 bn Euros = 1,100 bnYen)

o Sectors: Industry (steel, chemistry, refinery),Transportation (bus and train, heavy duty trucks, logistics, also passenger cars), Heat (long-term)

o Two phase scheme: Develop a domestic market until 2023, after 2023 focus on an European and international dimension

o All German regions will participate on the value chain

o The main volume of hydrogen has to be imported (North and Baltic Sea, South Europe, energy partnerships and development collaboration)

Folie 6 German „National Hydrogen Strategy“ (2)

▪ Domestic market aims: o Electrolysis power: − Until 2030: 5 GW (for 14 TWh/a green H2,at a total demand of 90 to 110 TWh/a, today 55TWh/a) − Until 2035: additional 5 GW – if feasible, at latest2040

▪ Measures (38 in total) – Hydrogen Production:

o Seeking to exclude hydrogen from the feed-in-tariff surcharge, use CO2 pricing, revisit the costs induced by the government o Consider electrolyser funding and checking new tendering models o Examine cooperation strategies between electrolysis operators and power/gas grid operators o Regulatory basis for the repurposing and expansion of ahydrogen infrastructure will be prepared

Folie 7 German „National Hydrogen Strategy“ (3)

▪ Measures – Transport: o Vehicles and refuelling (until 2023, for low emission drive trains): 7 bnEuros for passenger, heavy duty vehicles, buses and related refuelling infrastructure o Extension H2 refuelling stations for street, rails, waterways o NIP and „Hyland - Hydrogen regions in Germany“ (continuation planned) o Implementation of RED II: 2 GW electrolysis for refineries (goal) 2% green kerosene by 2030 (consideration)

▪ Measures – Industry: o Steel/Chemistry: Supporting investments and carbon contracts for difference for daily use

▪ Measures – International: o Integration of hydrogen into existing energy partnerships and the establishment of new partnerships with strategic exporting and importing countries

Folie 12 European Union Hydrogen Strategy (July 2020)

▪ Vice President EU Commission Frans Timmermans: “In developing and implementing a clean hydrogen value chain, Europe will be a front runner and maintain its leading position in the field of clean technologies.”

▪ Main facts: o Green Hydrogen, however, in the short and medium term, other forms of low carbon hydrogen are needed o 1st phase by 2024: At least 6 GW of renewable hydrogen electrolysers in the EU an up to 1 million tonnes of renewable hydrogen o 2nd phase by 2030: 40 GW of renewable hydrogen electrolysers and the production of up to 10 million tonnes of renewable hydrogen; reaching cost-competitiveness of renewable hydrogen o 3rd phase by 2030 to 2050: renewable hydrogen technologies should be mature and deployed on a large scale in allsectors o International: cooperation Eastern Neighbourhood, in particular Ukraine, andthe Southern Neighbourhood (according to industry another 40 GW electrolysis by2030)

4 Conclusion

Folie 16 NRW Ministry of Economic Affairs – Energy Supply Strategy NRW (2019)

▪ Background: Hydrogen (mentioned 53 times) is as storage medium and for sector coupling necessary. For a successful turnaround in mobility, switching to battery- powered electric vehicles and, in future, hydrogen-powered fuel cell vehicles is an important requirement

▪ Goal: Building a sustainable hydrogen and synthetic fuel supply chain

▪ Measures: - Hydrogen Roadmap (based on the “Hydrogen Study NRW”) - NRW cross-border cooperation (with The Netherlands)

- Innovative infrastructure projects for H2 and PtX

Folie 17 NRW Ministry of Economic Affairs – Hydrogen Study NRW (2019)

Analysis of economic and climate potentials of H2 in NRW

Positive effects of sector coupling created by hydrogen:

▪ Lower system costs at GHG goal of -95%

▪ Smoother integration of renewable energies

▪ Much less requirement for new power grids → higher acceptance

Conclusion 1: H2 and electricity are ideal partners for CO2-free energy systems

Conclusion 2: NRW cannot produce enough H2 to serve its own demand

Next Steps: Develop a “Hydrogen Roadmap NRW”

Folie 18 NRW Ministry of Economic Affairs – Hydrogen Roadmap NRW (2020 ongoing)

▪ Building a basis of decision making for stakeholders in NRW, motivate stakeholders

▪ Showing all hydrogen based activities in NRW

▪ Signal, NRW keeps supporting the hydrogen technology in the future

▪ Scientific support through Research Center Jülich,IEK-3

▪ Publishing planned for November 2020

▪ In parallel: “Hy3 Study” with The Netherlands and German Federal Ministry of EconomicAffairs
