Andreas Brumby Advocates Hydrogen Use in Hanau Despite Public Skepticism
Andreas Brumby presented the potential of hydrogen in Germany at an event in Hanau, backed by the H2anau alliance. He highlighted plans to replace natural gas with hydrogen in sections of the Flow-Pipeline, which extends over 400 kilometers from the North Sea to Hesse, managed by Gascade.
Brumby called for technological openness, stressing the need for both gas and hydrogen. He discussed hydrogen production in Denmark and Spain while noting BMW's investment in hydrogen technology. The number of hydrogen refueling stations has decreased to about 50. Concerns were raised regarding transportation efficiency and the viability of using existing natural gas pipelines for hydrogen.
