Germany’s 400 km hydrogen backbone segment is now pressurized, full of fossil hydrogen, and waiting. There are no meaningful suppliers connected to it and no contracted offtakers drawing molecules out. That fact alone makes it worth slowing down and doing the accounting carefully, because large infrastructure decisions do not become … [continued]
