CRA’s Dieter Keller-Giessbach was featured in an article titled “German hydrogen robust enough to withstand political upheaval” in H2 View.

The article focuses on Germany’s ambitious Hydrogen Core Network (HCN), which aims to create a comprehensive hydrogen infrastructure across the country. Key insights from Keller-Giessbach emphasize the importance of including not only major industries like steel and chemicals but also mid-sized companies in sectors such as cement and glass. He highlights the need for swift collaboration among stakeholders to address funding and deployment challenges, noting a surprising lack of communication within the sector. The successful integration of industrial hubs into the HCN is deemed crucial for its effectiveness, with ongoing dialogue and cooperation necessary to overcome logistical hurdles and build a robust hydrogen infrastructure.
