Exploring a Renewable Energy Partnership: Germany and Norway Discuss Potential for ‚Blue‘ Hydrogen Transport

Robert Habeck, German Minister of Energy and Environment, is currently in Norway to discuss the potential for renewable energy sources. The two countries are exploring the possibility of transporting hydrogen from Norway to Germany beginning in 2030. This „blue“ hydrogen production is controversial, with some arguing that it would be better to use carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology in the North Sea instead.

Harnessing Renewable Energy Sources

The world is increasingly turning to renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydropower to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels. Renewables are now the fastest-growing source of electricity globally, with their share of total generation rising from around 10% in 2010 to over 25% today. This shift is being driven by technological advances that have made renewables more cost-competitive and attractive to investors, as well as by government policies that offer incentives for renewable energy development. Renewable energy sources are also seen as key components of a sustainable future, providing clean energy that does not emit greenhouse gases or other pollutants.
