Same Length, Different Logic: China’s Industrial Hydrogen Pipeline Versus Germany’s Backbone

Same Length, Different Logic: China’s Industrial Hydrogen Pipeline Versus Germany’s Backbone
11 min read

The comparison between Germany’s hydrogen backbone from nowhere to nowhere and China’s reported 1,000km-plus hydrogen pipeline keeps resurfacing, often framed as evidence that Germany is simply early rather than wrong. It is a fair question, because at a distance both projects appear similar. Both involve long-distance hydrogen pipelines. Both are … [continued]

The most important policy lesson from the 400 km European hydrogen backbone segment with no suppliers and no offtakers—a pipeline from nowhere to nowhere—I wrote about recently is that decarbonization succeeds or fails on demand realism, not technological aspiration. Europe knew, as early as the late 2000s, that deep electrification … [continued]
