The update of the National Hydrogen Strategy adapts and develops the initial <a href="https://climate-laws.org/document/national-hydrogen-strategy-nws_e4d5?q=hydrogen+strategy+germany" target="_blank">strategy from 2020</a>.
The updated strategy outlines the following goals for 2030:
<ul>
<li>Accelerate the market ramp-up of hydrogen.</li>
<li>Ensure sufficient availability of hydrogen and its derivatives. The target for domestic electrolysis capacity in 2030 is increased from 5 GW to at least 10 GW. The demand beyond this, which is expected to account for about 50-70% of total demand around 2030, is expected to be met mainly by imports. In parallel, an import strategy is in the making and will be published by the end of 2023.</li>
<li>Establish an efficient hydrogen infrastructure.</li>
<li>Establish hydrogen application and its derivates in particular for the following sectors: industry, heavy-duty commercial transport; and increasingly, aviation and shipping.</li>
<li>Make Germany the lead supplier for hydrogen technologies.</li>
<li>Create appropriate legal frameworks at the national, European and, if possible, international levels.</li>
</ul>

An aim to achieve a quantifiable outcome within a given time-frame, set by an institution such as a national government.

Policy instruments are techniques or tools used by governing authorities to promote certain policies in order to achieve predetermined goals. Put simply, instruments are how a government tries to achieve its goals, with this taxonomy being focused on national policy instruments.

Risk is the potential for adverse consequences resulting from the dynamic interplay between (climate-related) hazards, exposure, and vulnerability of affected human or ecological systems.

Groups  of people who are adversely affected by climate change or the response to it

A set of principles, processes, and practices that build economic and political power to shift from an extractive economy to a regenerative economy.

Justice is the ethical and political framework that addresses fairness, including issues of responsibility, rights, and structural inequity.

Renewable energy means all forms of energy produced from renewable sources in a sustainable manner.

Fossil fuel is a generic term for non-renewable energy sources such as coal, fossil gas, and oil (including crude oil, and petroleum products), that can be used for electricity and heat generation. Fossil fuels are hydrocarbons formed from pressurised and heated organic material buried over millions of years.

Molecules in the atmosphere that play a key role in the greenhouse effect by trapping heat radiating from Earth’s surface.

Area of the economy in which actors engage in identical or related activities.

In human systems, the process of adjustment to actual or expected climate change and its effects, in order to moderate harm, increase resilience or exploit beneficial opportunities. In natural systems, the process of adjustment to actual climate change and its effects; human intervention may facilitate adjustment to expected climate change and its effects.

The management and allocation of funds, assets and investments to meet various objectives

A target to reduce the prevalence of a greenhouse gas over a specific time frame

A commitment to balance GHG emissions with removal by a certain point in time, effectively reducing the net emissions to zero

Actions to reduce emissions in energy generation and supply.

Technologies that capture and hold energy in reserve for later use.

The activities of industries involved in the production, distribution, and sale of energy, including electricity, gas, and renewables.

This sector involves the wholesale and retail selling of goods.

This sector involves activities to move goods and people, alongside the storage of products.

the fair distribution of risks and opportunities of climate change and the transition to a regenerative economy, cognisant in particular of disproportionate impacts on vulnerable communities and the working class
