The German cabinet on Wednesday approved an updated hydrogen strategy, government sources said, setting guidelines for hydrogen production and transport infrastructure plans as Europe's largest economy aims to become climate-neutral by 2045.

In the new strategy, the government raised its domestic electrolysis capacity target for 2030 to at least 10 gigawatts (GW) from a previous 5 GW.

The strategy sees German hydrogen demand at 95 to 130 terawatt hours (TWH) in 2030, of which around 50% to 70% would be covered by imports.
