Gas pipeline converted to transport "green hydrogen" in Germany

Gascade’s move was laying the ground for more local industrial development and hopefully further investments at the site, said Ines Jesse, Mecklenburg state’s deputy economy minister.

“Green hydrogen” can serve to store wind and solar power via conversion at electrolysis plants and can be transported and stored on a large scale. It is, however, expensive to develop, which can delay investment decisions in challenging economic conditions.
