Delay in Denmark-Germany Hydrogen Pipeline Sparks Concerns

The construction of a key hydrogen pipeline has been postponed to 2031 due to necessary environmental and safety studies.

The hydrogen pipeline project between Denmark and Germany, initially set for 2028, is now expected to be completed by 2031.
Extensive environmental and safety evaluations by Denmark's state-owned Energinet have led to the construction delay.
Danish Climate Minister Lars Aagaard emphasized the need to acknowledge these realities despite previous agreements with Germany.
The pipeline aims to transport 'green' hydrogen, produced from renewable sources, crucial for industrial decarbonization.
Germany plans to import significant amounts of hydrogen, collaborating with countries like Norway, alongside domestic production efforts.
