Hydrogen needs storage – BMWK “Weißbuch” released

The new “Weißbuch” by Germany’s Ministry for Economic Affairs highlights: without storage, there’s no resilient hydrogen economy.

Key points:
• Storage balances fluctuating renewables like offshore wind
• Salt caverns offer major storage potential
• Clear policies and infrastructure upgrades are needed

AquaVentus sees: Offshore hydrogen only works with integrated systems. The time to act is now.
