📋 Tender Overview
The German Maritime Center presented the study The role of the maritime economy in establishing a German hydrogen economy. It analyzes among other things various international hydrogen strategies the national hydrogen strategy of the federal government and the strategies of the northern German federal states and the European Union.In the study prepared by the Institute for Shipping Economics and Logistics ISL the requirements for hydrogen and Power-to-X PtX energy carriers in the maritime industry in Germany up to the year 2050 - from production to storage and transport to to the consumer - prized. It offers a broad overview of the current status of various hydrogen technologies and considers all maritime sub-sectors. Framework conditions and development statuses of hydrogen and PtX technologies in the countries and regions examined are considered and requirements capacities and key figures for the use of the products with their process chains are holistically presented in various scenarios and their degrees of effectiveness are evaluated. Application projects and research are divided into the areas of generation as well as transport handling storage and the use of energy sources. The focus is on the maritime industry as a consumer and maritime industry for logistics aspects.The study considers Australia Chile Iceland Canada Morocco Norway and the United Arab Emirates as possible locations for hydrogen products that Germany could import. According to the results of the study diversified use of all relevant energy sources offers the greatest advantages for the use of the existing infrastructure. It has been shown that in the production of hydrogen products for example in Australia the Peoples Republic of China and Iceland the import to Germany via ship is quite competitive compared to possible pipelines for example between Morocco and Germany and becomes more and more competitive with increasing distance will.The study also identified research needs and developed recommendations for action in three categories - political scientific and technological dimensions. The study is currently available as a management summary and will soon be published in full.
