Make the most of our environment. Germany's "National Hydrogen Energy Strategy" plans to invest 9 billion euros in the field of hydrogen energy by 2030. Invest 1.5 billion euros to build a 6.5 GW electrolysis hydrogen production plant. France and Germany jointly invested nearly 6 billion euros in 2019.
News from this newspaper recently, France announced the "National Hydrogen Plan", which plans to invest 7.2 billion euros in hydrogen energy research and development and related industries within 10 years, and make France an important participant in the global hydrogen energy economy.
In view of the gradual maturity of hydrogen energy-related technologies, France plans to give priority to the promotion of hydrogen supply, so as to lay a solid foundation for boosting hydrogen energy demand. According to the latest "French Future Energy" plan, by 2030, France will have a production capacity of 600,000 tons of "clean hydrogen" produced by renewable energy and nuclear energy.
In order to realize this vision, the French government will invest 1.5 billion euros in the construction of a 6.5 GW electrolysis hydrogen production plant in accordance with the model of Citroen and Total jointly establishing a battery factory.
It is reported that the French Minister of Economy and Finance Le Maire will also discuss with the German Minister of Economy and Energy Altmaier in the near future on cooperation in the hydrogen production industry.
It is understood that France and Germany jointly invested nearly 6 billion euros in 2019 to build a European electric vehicle battery manufacturing joint enterprise and create an "Airbus" in the electric vehicle industry. This time to promote the economic development of hydrogen energy, France hopes to continue to replicate the "Airbus model" and once again unite with Germany to promote the hydrogen production industry and jointly seek industrial methods to reduce the cost of hydrogen production by electrolysis.
In fact, the French hydrogen energy industry already has a good foundation, which provides a foundation for the realization of the "National Hydrogen Plan". For example, French industrial gas leader Air Liquide has been one of the world's largest hydrogen producers for decades; Gazprom has experience in injecting hydrogen into natural gas networks; EDF and Total have also invested heavily in hydrogen storage and transportation in recent years Technology; The Coradia iLint developed by Alstom is the world's only commercially operated hydrogen-powered train; Airbus plans to launch a hydrogen-powered passenger plane in 2035.
According to the target set by the European Union, by 2050, the proportion of hydrogen energy in the EU's energy structure will increase to 12%-14%, and the total investment will reach 180 billion to 470 billion euros. In the latest recovery plan, 14 EU member states have formulated detailed hydrogen energy plans. In addition to France, Germany’s National Hydrogen Energy Strategy plans to invest 9 billion euros in the field of hydrogen energy by 2030, Spain plans to invest 8 billion euros, and Portugal plans to invest 7 billion euros.
