Deutschlands Rechnungshof erklärt die vermeintliche Unvermeidlichkeit von Wasserstoff für beendet - CleanTechnica
Der Sonderbericht des Bundesrechnungshofs vom Oktober 2025 zur deutschen Wasserstoffstrategie zieht eine kritische Bilanz: Trotz erheblicher finanzieller Mittel – über 7 Milliarden Euro in 2024 und 2025 sowie mehrjährige Zusagen in Milliardenhöhe – erfüllt die Strategie die gesetzlich geforderten Kriterien wie Versorgungssicherheit, Bezahlbarkeit, Umweltverträglichkeit und Klimaneutralität nicht. Die ursprünglich geplante Elektrolysekapazität von 10 GW bis 2030 wird voraussichtlich nicht erreicht, mit weniger als 0,2 GW in Betrieb bis 2025 und einer erwarteten Kapazität von unter 5 GW bis 2030. Auch die Importprognosen sind unrealistisch, da Deutschland allein eine Nachfrage von bis zu 91 TWh erwartet, während weltweit nur 63 TWh grüne Wasserstoffproduktion mit finalen Investitionsentscheidungen bestehen. Programme wie H2Global und der Green Hydrogen Fund konnten bislang keine entscheid

The article from CleanTechnica critically examines Germany’s hydrogen strategy, particularly its focus on developing a hydrogen pipeline infrastructure that currently lacks customers and suppliers. This strategic choice has had significant unintended consequences on Germany’s workforce and training priorities, ultimately delaying the electrification, grid expansion, and renewable energy integration that the country urgently needs. By positioning hydrogen infrastructure as a long-term, regulated national asset, Germany sent strong signals to industry, regulators, and training institutions, prompting substantial investments in hydrogen-specific skills development, certifications, and training centers. For example, a major German gas transmission system operator invested around €10 million in a dedicated hydrogen training facility, reflecting the expectation that hydrogen would be central to the future energy system. While hydrogen-related skills are largely transferable to other industrial contexts, the article highlights the opportunity cost of this focus: finite training time, institutional resources, and career signaling have been disproportionately directed toward hydrogen at the expense of electrification efforts. This shift is problematic because Germany’s current decarbonization bott

The article critically examines hydrogen company Lhyfe’s recent claims of doubling revenue in 2025 and its strategic refocus for 2026, arguing that these announcements mask deeper financial and strategic problems. While Lhyfe’s revenue reportedly grew from €5 million to €10 million, this increase is from a very small base and does not indicate business viability. The company continues to incur substantial net losses—€21.7 million in 2025, albeit an improvement from previous years’ losses of €29.1 million and €33.5 million. Cost-cutting measures, including a 30% reduction in engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) staff, are seen as insufficient to reverse the company’s cash burn and may undermine operational capabilities rather than drive sustainable profitability. The article uses Richard Rumelt’s framework for good strategy to critique Lhyfe’s approach, highlighting a flawed diagnosis of the company’s challenges. Lhyfe attributes its struggles mainly to external regulatory and policy hurdles
