The European Union has told drug maker astra zeneca that it must deliver its more doses of its covert 1000. 00 Vaccine Health commissioner stellar career akhet is said vaccines made in astra zeneca as british plants should be shared with europe but as tensions rise the drug maker says those doses should go to britain because its placed its order 1st. Germanys parliament has mocked International HolocaustRemembrance Day chancellor Angela Merkel and representatives of the Jewish Community took part in the ceremony to remember the 6000000 jews and other victims of naziism full of course survivor former Jewish Community leader charlotte loesch warned lawmakers of a resurgence of anti semitism in germany. This is deja news from berlin follow us on twitter and instagram at the news of his it all website at d. W. Dot com. It has now been exactly one year since the 1st person here in germany tested positive for the corona virus on january 27th 2020 practically no one expected what was about to begin unfolding here and all over the planet more than 100000000 people have been infected more than 2000000 have died in the numbers will get worse before they get better tonight the unprecedented attempt to vaccinate everyone on the Planet Science has given us vaccines will the politics of us versus them get in the way i bring gulf in berlin this is the day. Hundreds. More doses of pfizer and. In the current some countries have been going to yawned and quiet up to 4 times what. Creases the total vaccine. In the United States by 50 percent of folks in nationalism might set short term Political Goals we are all its not safe in some countries. Blocks ability to get people in other countries. As being nations own interests to support a vaccine which is. Also coming up in germany handled the 1st wave of the pandemic better than most countries the 2nd wave change that tonight the virus the learning curve and a good dose of humility. Where else would you rather be none of our neighbors has been able to get these pandemic under control 3 more lenient mischas where would you rather be than in the federal republic of germany. To our viewers on p. B. S. In the United States and to our viewers a live around the world welcome. We begin the day in the darkest moment of the pandemic this week the world reached and surpassed a tragic number 100000000 people have now been infected with the coronavirus and most of those infections have happened in the last few months in fact january looks set to be the worst month so far for new infections and coated 19 deaths scientists expect the figures to get worse next month with more people hospitalized and more people die how quickly things get better will depend significantly on what we do with the coronavirus vaccines thanks to science the world now has numerous effective vaccines with even more in the pipeline getting the vaccines from the lab into peoples arms is now a question of logistics but also a matter of the hands and have nots this week the World Health Organization warned that the divide between rich and poor nations is worsening by the day as we speak rich countries are owning out vaccines while the woods least developed countries watch and wait with every day that passes the divide grows larger between the worlds hubs and have nots bucks in nationalism might said short term Political Goals but its in every nations own interests to support equity i leave you with a challenge i set at the beginning of the week together. We must eat sure that vaccination of Health Workers and all of that of people is underway in all countries within the 1st 100 days of this year. Oh and for more now we want to bring in bruce word hes Senior Advisor to w h o director general to address or you just heard there hes also heading efforts to speed up Vaccine Distribution bruce is going to have you on the day so were talking about the haves and the have nots when it comes to vaccines and you are working youre trying to make these vaccines equitable everywhere i mean you must have one of the hardest jobs on the planet at the moment. Well theres an awful lot of people sharing this load actually right now so its its its not just me but it is a massive challenge but theres a lot of people working very hard right now to try and right this situation as quickly as possible the u. S. President is promising to have almost everyone in the u. S. Vaccinated by the end of the summer south africas president is accusing rich countries of hoarding back scenes for their own citizens whats the truth here. Well even if we knew the facts right vaccination these vaccines were available proven the 1st ones licensed at the beginning of december and since then were now at a point where 59. 00 countries almost 60 countries have begun vaccination only one of those countries is a low income country so the rest of them the vast majority are high Income Countries a couple of or a few upper middle Income Countries and then very very few at the other end and at the beginning it was understood because of the contractual arrangements but now we have 71000000 doses are right you know delivered around the world and of those doses 25 of the 70000025 have gone to people who live in the lowest Income Countries so thats a situation that we have to rectify very very quickly theres a number of reasons for that which we can talk about but the big thing is we need to change that that that that distribution pattern very quickly and i want to ask you about that in just a moment let me just ask you last night when President Biden promised 300000000 americans will be vaccinated by the end of the summer things to more purchases of vaccines that sounded like an american or america 1st approach does it does it worry you. Well this is not an american fro 1st approach this is every country is taking the same approach thats the challenge where every country and of course elected politicians ever responsibility to take care of their own people so most countries or many countries are approaching the use of corona virus vaccines the same way the reality is though and its interesting just the study came out just the other day that that that just highlighted once again that it is in not only the Health Interests and morris interests but also the Health Security and now the economic interests of every single country to do this in a coordinated manner they world is so interconnected right now no country can get out of this situation this pandemic acting on its own so the situation is not about one country 1st or another country 1st its about every country deciding we need all of them to move together and that means a combination of not just assuring we finance the mechanisms that need to get the vaccines out on a global scale but that also we provide the spaces in the queue so to speak to make sure that everyone gets at least some share of those initial doses you know the worst possible outcome is all doses go to some countries solution is. All countries get some of the dose. And that brings me to kovacs which was set up to ensure poor countries also have access to the vaccines we know that the w. H. O. Is part of kovacs what is the biggest challenge or the biggest problem right now the inability of poor countries to afford the vaccines or the shortage of vaccines. Well if we go back to the reason that kovacs was set up remember this was set up nearly a year ago now or we began to roll it out at a time when no vaccines when we didnt know whether vaccines were going to be successful we didnt know which vaccines of the you know the myriad vaccines that were being tested were actually going to be successful and in a situation like that the best thing for the Global Community was to pool resources pool the risk of Development Tool the procurement of these products and pool the roll out of them coordinate the rollout and that was in everyones best interest and that was well recognized by months ago so the intent of kovacs was not to provide doses for the lowest Income Countries it was to coordinate a global rollout of doses now where we are today many hiring come countries in addition to signing up to be part of that global effort they also made by lateral deals with the manufacturers and sometimes for it for vaccines that like them during the vaccines that were extremely expensive or the Pfizer Vaccine that of course is affected and only if kept at it ultra cold say minus 70 degrees and some of those products are best suited to low Income Countries so initially there was a sense that well maybe we can rely on other products but the reality is its been these m r n a products at a vaccination the world right now and so without access to that group of products there is a delay in getting out to the low Income Countries so its a good part of it is financing but part of it is also access to the only vaccines that are currently internationally recognized and approved you know and all of those contracts on those are held by high Income Countries so its as simple as that im sure youre aware its in the deficit again pfizer theyve angered the European Union by cutting the amount of vaccine doses that theyre delivering your boss says that kovacs expects 150000000 doses of astra zeneca is vaccine to become available for distribution for the 1st quarter of this year is that still realistic or is that Wishful Thinking now. No thats absolutely possible remember the big challenge with the astra zeneca product right now is it actually hasnt gone through the final regulatory processes that are necessary to roll this out on a big scale so if we look at the kodak facility were going to be drawing on astra zeneca supplies from 2 of the different production facilities around the world these facilities are being and their products are being assessed right now and what were looking forward to is these things passing Regulatory Approval by mid february and then starting to roll out very very soon thereafter and weve contracted 150000000 doses are from sites that are not supplying your so it should not be affected by the challenges that are being faced by the sites that are currently planned to serve europe remember the astra zeneca vaccine is not yet been approved for use in one in may and that your work on it with your thats correct bruce and a lot of people are wishing you lots of success word Senior Advisor to the director general of the w h we appreciate your time in your insights tonight thank you. Thank you very much. One year ago today germany reported its 1st corona virus infection today more than 13200 new cases were reported a slight drop compared to the same day last week but it shows you the Dramatic Development in the pandemics 1st year germanys Disease Control agency says that deadly infection numbers are steadily decreasing but the situation remains serious outbreaks are still being reported across the country particularly in nursing and care homes and the death rate remains very high with more than 982 deaths reported in figures released on wednesday morning. Physical distancing medical mask wearing and a social life that largely been consigned to the Virtual World that pretty much describes everyones life everyones reality at the moment when the 1st coronavirus case was detected last year very few had any idea that a new normal was about to emerge and change everything heres a look back at how the pandemic unfolded here in germany. Jeremy 1st came across 1000 here at the offices of this automotive supplier in bavaria its where 33 year old employee caught the novel virus from a coworker who had traveled to germany from china he became patient number one. German officials were quick to assure the public the country was taking the virus seriously but that there was also no cause for alarm. Health minister yan spahn told the public theres no need for exaggerated concern and fewer t. V. To get this kind in orange the World Health Organization echoed this with calls for simple measures like more hand washing self protection is still the best possible way we can go about this but infections spread to every region in germany Contact Tracing became impossible. Germanys hold on the virus gave way to the free spread of covert 19. Then just 6 weeks after the 1st case was discovered germany announced the closing of schools by the end of march a nationwide lockdown meant the workplace and the school day had to compete for attention in homes across the country. The bulk of people in germany seemed to take the restrictions in stride and agree with them with the budding spring germany slowly started opening up again. But by the start of me nearly 7000 people in germany had died. Meanwhile elsewhere in europe the numbers range from more than 24000 to over 28000 deaths. In comparison with many european neighbors germany appeared to have weathered the height of the crisis fairly well. Many people enjoyed the warm summer months. But then fall arrived and cases began to rise again. By november a socalled lockdown light was in place despite both calls for stricter measures. As well as protests against them. But the mini lockdown didnt work cases rose it alarming rates with more and more patients needing intensive care. By the Christmas Holidays restrictions have been tightened again and after the new year schools and shops remain shut. The latest extension of germanys lockdown will continue through february 14th. Looking back on a year of code 19 here in germany lets bring in our Political Correspondent good evening to you hons lets start with one aspect of germanys response when it became clear that curve it had arrived here in europe that was the decision to close the borders and to ban the export of protective gear what have we learned from that experience. Well that was a knee jerk nationalistic reaction but here in germany and in other countries in europe and in fact it turned out to be it is all started with a bogus close the supply chains were broken factories were stopped supplies to shops was stopped. The disputes of hard way to get protective equipment went around the world. A lot of money was made by people who were producing quality goods protective equipment and so on so this and learn from it was that this should not happen again and the German Government in fact has been trying very hard since then to coordinate much of its measures much of the cross border measure as within the European Union within the continent of europe for instance the acquisition of fact scenes that weve all been talking about has been coordinated on the european level so that this kind of nationalist is going i love cannot happen again germany its response in the 1st wave of the pandemic was pre surround the world that has been the case in the 2nd wave whats happened. Well basically whats happened is that people were to relax after the 1st wave it was some people went away on holiday the schools were closed that area of possible infection was eliminated many of the businesses were slightly less active than they would be because of the summer time and the government neglected to prepare for a 2nd wave properly for instance in taking precautions that care. In preparing schools for the 2nd wave and preparing Public Health systems for the 2nd wave everyone was relaxed everyone in a sense thought that this was already overcome and so the 2nd wave hits germany very hard as it did in other countries the Lessons Learned from that will take a lot longer actually to correct and hunt how has the Public Acceptance of the governments response how is that changed well in fact one can say that public exceptions and acceptance of harsh measures of luck on this as has consistently been high in germany is consistent if you are on 3 quarters of a full 5th of the population if you believe the polls but if you look at the actual infection figures you must say that there must be many people who say that they accept these measures but dont actually stick to them otherwise the infection rates wouldnt have risen at the rate that they have i want to take a listen to chancellor merkel she was speaking back in the summer about the challenge posed by the Pandemic Take a look when i also listen to it and you hearing jamie is well know the months since february and march have marked a radical cut everyone has experienced changes in private moment in that family life at work and in the way we live together in a democracy its a virus it is an affront to democracy you know hundreds germanys political system seems to be rather resilient and is holding up quite well. Well you can say that this is an old us that. The 2nd wave radian has started hitting out of the beginning of september of. Whats been happening here in trying to control the outbreaks of the virus weve had a kind of coordinating committee consisting of angular medical the chancellor and the 16 leaders of various of germany 16 regional states and this has been a very very difficult relationship im going to america has pushed all of us all the time in the last few months for harsher measures to be taken but the regions have said that they do not agree with that and many times have done what they felt right which is not really contributed to controlling the virus and they have also been groups in germany who have said that measures to control the virus are. In a sense contravene the constitution should be stopped that even people that deny that the virus exists and of course as time goes on this is become a part of political matter as well so the opposition parties are putting a lot of pressure on the German Government with the elections coming in germany thats going to be general elections in september and various other Regional Elections before that its becoming much more political the whole issue here in germany where the Political Correspondent once branch with the leaders tonight here in berlin on thank you. But during the 4 years of the trunk the presidency millions of americans have become followers of the right wing Conspiracy Theory known as q anon father words believe that a great awakening in the us and around the world was about to happen they scoured anonymous web postings from a shadow week you figure and interpreted tweets and statements by former u. S. President donald trump as messages sent from their champion they expected some kind of epiphany to occur on Inauguration Day but there was no epiphany biden became President Trump left the white house and chewing on followers are facing a harsh reality check. My colleague does if he has been following this story for years i mean remind us what exactly is q is there any way to know how many people are still followers look you anon is a Movement Based on a Conspiracy Theory thats based on trump so trump the presidency was at the center of this they believe that he was going to save them from a cabal of satan worshipping pedophiles in the u. S. Government mostly among democrats and also high profile hollywood celebrities they believe a lot of tropes that come from old semitic conspiracy theories and they believe that trump was going to save them all from this now as turned in terms of how many people actually follow this movement its really hard because its all online or most of its online anyway some estimates by facebook and independent estimates by the guardian have put that number around 3000000 people who have accounts that are associated with q. Anon accounts and theyre all following this one person who posts under the name of q so none of this is based on evidence i have to say that maybe maybe for some people out there listening in but its based on just these anonymous postings online so its really hard to tell how many people are active but just in my travels across us i would say 3000000 is a huge underestimate because if you just talk to people at trump rallies they might not say i am a follower of anonymous but they say theyre doing the right thing or i believe that there is this cabal of child sex Truck Driving and we know that a key belief of cumin on followers is that double troll remains u. S. President so obviously hes no longer in power whats going to happen to the movement well its been a reckoning for the movement Inauguration Day when joe biden became the president of the United States and trump had to leave to florida that was an existential crisis for the movement now we were looking on chat rooms where a lot of q. And autumn is. Followers talk about what to do next and you can see that there are several main things you had people who are continuing to. Test as we saw there we were just going on as if Nothing Happened theres people who have left the movement to have said ok this is all fake ive wasted my time and then theres you know theres also people who have tried to incorporate bidens presidency into a new narrative you know what you have to what you can forget is that trump is still alive is still out there so he can still play a role in in organizing this somehow or at least being a symbolic figure in this now we talked to. The head of the pod cast the host of a podcast cuban people are basically faced with a kind of double down or back down position what happens in those cases historically is more radicalization among the people that remain and more i suppose violent outbursts but whats always been a respite q. And on is the most mentally ill within the system theyre like kernels of popcorn that go off before inches of the movement and they harm themselves and usually the people that they love around them their Family Structures their friends structures and thats what were going to be seeing very soon i believe because of the cognitive dissonance created by this great disappointment you know kernels of popcorn going off i mean weve been know that germany is home to a friend a major fringe of q anon outside of the u. S. What do we know about that and what do we know about the role of donald trump in in this fringe thats a really good question don from being the former president of the u. S. What does that mean for the rest of the world know like you said there germany is considered to be the home of the largest base of cuban on followers outside of the English Speaking world as telegram channels theres online chat rooms where a lot of germans are also communicating about this false Conspiracy Theory and some people have put the estimate around 150000. 00 followers of the movement within germany which is pretty significant now trump does play a major role in this youll see you this. These trademark red maga hats at a lot of rallies here especially around the pandemic pandemic has been a big issue for germans a lot of conspiracy theorists not believing that covert 1000 exists and because trump early on had also cast doubt on how serious it was they took that as a sign that he was that he was going to do something for them so you saw a lot of that playing out here and like i said its going to continue to play a role as long as trump is still around and making statements yeah despite all of the cognitive dissonance that he was talking about i mean thank you. Well the day is almost done but the conversation it continues online youll find us on twitter either at the w. News or you can follow me at brant t. V. And remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day well see you then everybody. Many pluses not since apparently hydrogen being sold as a clean on ground as the Energy Source of the future Many Industries are very interested in the seal to neutral field.

Is it all just a lot of hot air investors have been snapping up hydrogen related stocks as if the gas were in short supply its the most abundant element in the universe like on our sun but on earth its mostly extracted from fossil fuels and meeting Carbon Dioxide in the process whats got traders excited a companys promises of Clean Hydrogen electrolysis splits water into hydrogen and oxygen doing it cheaply could be the holy grail of green energy so could hydrogen become the fuel of the future thats what were looking at today are made by big fizzle and. Chip prices of companies in the industry have sold more than 500 percent in the past year there are several reasons 0 emissions vehicles are all the rage many countries are going carbon free in the next few decades u. S. President joe biden has thrown his weight behind the sector and the European Union plans to scale up or new Opel Hydrogen projects in polluting Industries Like chemicals and steel but a lot of the focus or far has been on cars the question is will Hydrogen Powered cars overtake their electric cousins. Whats the deal when we all supposed to be driving plug in electric cars there are not for us part of car sharing plans in many cities. But now 100 jim because of the thing. Over the past 2 decades several hydrogen models have been unveiled so most of them use hydrogen and combustion engines but what about Hydrogen Cars with electric motors like this one. We asked the head of the German Hydrogen and fuel Cell Association about the advantage over plug in ecommerce. Plug in electric cars have a distance problem and ranges are growing become with up to 4 hours recharging time who wants to set off on vacation and have to take a 4 hour break every 250 kilometers its not an option. How does this h 2 powered car work it involves a kind of battery known as a fuel cell. From the air and hydrogen from the tank come together and react in the fuel cell producing electricity that powers the cars electric engine. What comes out of the tail pipe. Unlike combustion engines no exhaust fumes or Carbon Dioxide are produced. But only a few car makers manufacture them such as chaim die. And the Technology Remains expensive a car like this toyota mirai costs 79000 euros at the moment in the future a new model is expected to sell for about 64000 euros why is it still so costly. Because and why the vehicles are sufficiently well developed to be sold at ordinary car prices if they were mass produced. But at the moment theres a lack of demand perhaps also theres not enough state intervention to ensure that enough vehicles are accepted. Thats all well and good but so far the hydrogen itself is mainly produced using fossil fuels not exactly climate friendly. The phone Hoover Institute for systems and Innovation Research has calculated how much h. T. Would be needed in germany to fully exploit Hydrogen Technologies and its unlocked. In 2018 a total of 560 terawatt hours of electric power was used in germany even if electricity consumption is state the same in 2050 as much as double that would be required to produce all the hydrogen needed for fuel cells and for making Synthetic Fuels. To generate all that extra power germany would have to expand wind and solar on a massive scale to produce both enough hydrogen for transportation and enough electricity for other uses. That would mean. That. If we want to or are allowed to use hydrogen for mobility then this hydrogen can only be generated with renewable Energy Source. We would have to build up trade relations with countries with huge amounts of space sunshine and wind available and that are willing to become our Energy Providers of the future. Sustainable Energy Plants would have to be built there so hydrogen could be produced and transported via pipelines or ships to germany which is. Ok so the message is Renewable Energy would have to be expanded massively to produce enough hydrogen but not only is there still a lack of hype but also if the necessary infrastructure such as filling stations in the capital berlin there are currently just 5 hydrogen filling stations and a total of 90 throughout germany. Filling up takes just 3 minutes and then the car can travel 500 kilometers. Driving 100. Costs just as much as with a Diesel Engine so its not more expensive for the customer the industry has agreed to build a significant number of filling stations up to 400. 00 of them without looking at exactly how many cars there actually are. Under support from policymakers not just to expand Renewable Energies but also Hydrogen Production in december the German Government launched a new Pilot Project in chile where siemens plans to produce Synthetic Fuels using hydrogen expats think that h. T. Technology in the form of fuel cells is also being taken more seriously. Than folks who 10 years ago it was more like an engineers dream its such a cool and Clever Technology and we now have clear binding climate targets and the green deal gave us more ambitious targets we realized these are not attainable with conventional combustion engines we simply need different technologies. On the other hand the Global Market for hydrogen on Synthetic Fuels may traumatic growing scientists at the found institute calculate the market value reach up to 190000000000 euros by 2030 and as much as 680000000000 euros by 2050. Good prospects than the hydrogen technology. In 10 years many more of these vehicles looks to be cruising through the country. But its still not a Given Hydrogen as a fuel for cars sounds great the gas could one day play a major role in slowing Global Warming still its not always the best technology that wins its the one that clinches market share and rides the Network Effect some analysts are warning of a bubble frenzy in hydrogen related stocks has Companies Trading at extreme prices based on expectations that their revenue will surge in the future despite worries about possible headwinds for the sector it was a similar burst of enthusiasm about 20 years ago that proved short lived and another thing is abundant Energy Source has to get a lot greener 1st to make an impact on the planet if it really hits the streets that is or takes its place in other industries. Hydrogen is considered an important Energy Source of the future its a post to make of a key part of europes transition to sustainable sources of power. Course of rotterdam is investing in h 2 in a big way. Its planning to build a Hydrogen Network covering the entire port aiming to become a hub for producing importing and transporting the gas to other European Countries but is hydrogen truly green. Hydrogen itself is actually colorless but its called gray blue or indeed green depending on the manufacturing process used to produce it today most hydrogen is grain its made from fossil fuels like natural gas and coal and produces high levels of c o 2 emissions. Blue hydrogen is also grey in the sense that it too is gained from fossil fuels but the climate damaging c o 2 is captured and stored in empty gas fields under the sea for example. So the Carbon Footprint is significantly lower. In the green many factoring process hydrogen is derived from water this is the only form of 82 production that can be described as sustainable and a lot of what was in. All hydrogen is overseen because its always the molecule true but the different Manufacturing Processes determine how high the Greenhouse Gas emissions are and how clean the hydrogen is. Green hydrogen is produced by splitting water into oxygen and hydrogen with the help of electricity. But that electricity doesnt always come from 0 emission sources. So even Green Hydrogen is only sustainable if the power used to make it comes from renewable. Such as wind also low power. Only then is it produced without emitting any Carbon Dioxide. If its to be green and sustainable the hydrogen has to be produced using renewables hash that. But what if a country doesnt have enough renewable electricity to cover the need for green Hydrogen Production. Germany for example has insufficient wind and solar power so by 2050 the country will have to import 45000000 tons of hydrogen the risk there is that transporting it over long distances by ship or pipeline could cause further environmental damage. Im here with. One point of course a certification we need a Global Certification system to really prove that this hydrogen has been produced from green electricity. Right now we dont have that because theres no agreement on it yet. Another hurdle for a quick transition to truly Green Hydrogen is the cost. Bins it more meant in didnt get in the arctic if you compare renewable green or Even Hydrogen with fossil fuels under the current Regulatory Framework then its a very expensive option and another for the total value and. But as more electricity is produced from renewable sources Green Hydrogen should become less expensive. For cars predict the cost will more than half by 2030 but so far the production of Green Hydrogen is not widespread in the European Union. Experts predict that the blue option where the c o 2 emitted during production is stored remain a key source of hydrogen for years to come. Well germany is keen on expanding its capacity for Hydrogen Production the aim is to produce the gas on an industrial scale with 0 emissions this Green Hydrogen would be used not only for fuels but also for heating and generating electricity still produces like to cope and sites get or are investing billions of euros to make production climate you troll with the help of Hydrogen Power even oil giants are getting in on the act b. P. Developing a Renewable Hydrogen project at its refinery here in germany to replace a big chunk of its fossil based hydrogen consumption. The road to Greener Energy leads to m. Slammed the northern german district hopes to play a leading role in the countrys transition to Renewable Energy. Tim huisman coordinates the development of Hydrogen Production infrastructure in the region. This wind together with offshore Wind Turbines to generate the power that will be used to produce hydrogen in a Carbon Neutral process. Behind using hydrogen is to achieve neutrality lets transition from fossil fuels using Renewable Energies replacing all that natural gas and petroleum by alternatives and that has to be. Solar energy. And is in good shape economically with modern industrial and commercial enterprises well funded with taxes the region can afford to invest heavily in the energy transition. Oil multinational b. P. Runs a huge refinery in ms land. Refineries like this one are among the biggest industrial consumers of hydrogen several tons per hour i needed to remove sulfur from the gasoline and diesel produced here. But whats being used is socalled Grey Hydrogen derived from natural gas in a process which emits large amounts of climate damaging c o 2 the plant is being converted so that in future it can produce Carbon NeutralGreen Hydrogen. Dont forget that there are large ferguss and plants like these large amounts of energy and here its 120 megawatts 128 reactor tubes filled with catalysts its highly Energy Intensive and produces lots of c o 2. Needs much less energy. But its very expensive without state subsidies it would be difficult to realise the plans the. Subset of Green Hydrogen costs more than great hydrogen so theres no economic incentive for it why would a Market Driven company use Green Hydrogen it just costs them money and their customers wont pay for it so subsidies. And both the German Government and the e. U. Agree that they will be in the 1000000000. Making Industrial Facilities more eco friendly cost a lot of money at this power plant Green Hydrogen could soon replace natural gas. And German Energy multinational plans to build one of the worlds biggest Hydrogen Production plants on this field Green Hydrogen is opening up entirely new business opportunities. That we already have large Cavern Storage facilities in our portfolio in which we can temporarily store the large amounts of hydrogen general
