| Abstract | Hydrogen can be an important building block for the goal of greenhouse gasneutrality, but only if it is produced in an environmentally friendly andsustainable way and used sparingly. The production of green hydrogen requireslarge quantities of renewable electricity and thus indirectly uses land, waterand raw materials. Hydrogen should therefore only be used where there are nomore efficient options for climate protection. A complete decarbonisation ofthe economy can only succeed if less energy is consumed overall.In June 2021, the German Advisory Council on the Environment (SRU) publisheda comprehensive statement on the role of hydrogen in climate protection in Germany. Based on this analysis, in this publication the SRU draws strategicconclusions and makes policy recommendations for the production and use of hydrogen. The full reasoning, further details and extensive references can be found in the German-language long text version. |
