Von optimistischen Modellen zu leeren Pipelines: Die intellektuelle Geschichte von Deutschlands Wasserstoff-Backbone*
Deutschlands Wasserstoff-Backbone existiert heute als Stahl im Boden und als unter Druck stehende Pipeline. Doch die wichtigere Infrastruktur wurde lange vor dem ersten ausgehobenen Graben geschaffen. Diese Infrastruktur war intellektuell. Eine lange Abfolge von Studien, Modellen und politiknahen Analysen erzeugte den Eindruck, dass Wasserstoff für großskalige Energienutzung nicht nur plausibel, … [continued]

From Optimistic Models To Empty Pipelines: The Intellectual History Of Germany’s Hydrogen Backbone
Germany’s hydrogen backbone now exists as steel in the ground and pressurized pipe, but the more important infrastructure was laid long before any trench was dug. That infrastructure was intellectual. A long sequence of studies, models, and policy-facing analyses created the impression that large scale hydrogen for energy use was … [continued]

The Opportunity Costs of Germany’s Hydrogen Backbone
Germany has now completed and pressurized roughly 400 km of hydrogen backbone pipeline with no connected suppliers and no contracted customers, a pipeline from nowhere to nowhere. The infrastructure exists and is operational, but no hydrogen is flowing to anyone who has agreed to pay for it. This is not … [continued]

Europe Built Hydrogen Infrastructure Instead of the Power Grid It Needed
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]
