You campaign against hydrogen, despite the fact that the TSOs have fully integrated the energy carrier, it is replacing natural gas by law in the EU, and EU funding fully supports this
New EU grids package pushes for €240bn of investment in hydrogen networks — and fully integrates H₂ into bloc’s energy system planning
Two vast hydrogen pipelines have been included in the bloc’s list of eight priority ‘Energy Highways’

Agora Energiewende are openly cynical of any real progress being necessary. Okay, they finally accept that the energy system splits between electricity and hydrogen, and then go to work blocking the hydrogen component (as usual); in favour of electricity DESPITE ITS INHERENT AND OBVIOUS LIMITATIONS

So there are a group of people besides those who currently supply the totality of Europe's energy needs we should be listening to instead?

Because a battery-powered economy cannot and will not ever become a reality
Hydrogen is the only zero-emissions fuel, and is needed for 25-35% of most industrialised nations' energy needs to achieve an effective transition

CO2 storage is not a fiction. The infrastructure is being built at scale, is the only option for many heavy industries, and is far cheaper than other options; eg battery-powered industry which is a genuine fiction

Anti-hydrogen sentiment is a bad-faith argument, built on ideological talking points and not sound data from industry or policy sources
Unfortunately they are both committed anti-hydrogen campaigners - despite the incontrovertible reality that (only) hydrogen can and will be supplied to replace about a third of EU final energy demand, by 2050

About a quarter of Asia-Pacific's emissions can only be decarbonised by hydrogen and its derivatives and CCS: DNV

Yeah, because its a really good idea to have impossibly strict rules for hydrogen, when you even talk about mining and critical raw materials refining and processing and you are met with a blank stare
When it comes to mining, data centres, fossil fuels etc: "do what you like"

With many electrolyser gigafactories already built in Germany, the 10GW goal looks set to be realised
"Overly complex requirements — such as the strict definition of ‘green hydrogen’ at the EU level — will be eliminated and replaced with pragmatic criteria”

Germany vows to scrap RFNBO definition for green hydrogen in energy policy shake-up
The government says it will treat low-carbon H2 equally and review current ambition for 10GW of electrolyser capacity by 2030

He is a committed anti-hydrogen lobbyist. With 1TWh battery storage globally by 2030 / 660TWh H2 planned for the EU alone, blocking hydrogen makes sense
It perpetuates the fossil status quo, as well as complete dependency on imported critical raw materials from China, who are now blocking exports

In fact, let's be honest: electrification rather than a focus on hydrogen is not just total hypocrisy it is complete incompetence

With no critical raw materials any more, total battery dependency in the EU (your recent electrification push from anti-hydrogen lobbyist Jan Rosenow) doesn't seem like such a good idea

Similarly, novel/boutique solutions for the myriad ways energy is sourced/used does not bring many benefits: technology uptake will be much slower, standardisation (using #hydrogen) will be minimal; consequently the broader technological transfer globally will be far slower, potentially impossible
October 21, 2025 at 1:56 PM
Relying on batteries, which will supply 1TWh of electricity by 2030 globally compared to EU's 10,400TWh energy demand seems very irresponsible; and more so knowing that the EU does not possess any critical raw materials and will have extreme difficulty following China's recent ban on CRM exports
October 21, 2025 at 1:56 PM
Important to note that Jan Rosenow's views on decarbonising differ sharply from the electricity and gas TSOs who plan and operate EU energy grids, and have shown an absolute focus on #hydrogen for 25-35% of the energy system, that cannot and will not be electrified
October 21, 2025 at 1:55 PM
Storing energy is the main problem, and this should be done via green #hydrogen which can be produced domestically as costs reduce and infrastructure is built (European Hydrogen Backbone), or imported from wide variety of suppliers again once infrastructure is built
