Piria, Raffaele et al. 2022: Securing hydrogen imports for Germany: Import needs, risks and strategies on the way to climate neutrality. Ariadne-Analysis.
This paper is a slight adaptation of the German-language analysis "Wasserstoffimportsicherheit für Deutschland – Zeitliche Entwicklung, Risiken und Strategien auf dem Weg zur Klimaneutralität", published in December 2021. The analysis takes a close look at Germany’s future need for hydrogen imports, hydrogen import-related risks as well as strategies to secure hydrogen imports.
