German hydrogen storage: annual additions to storage capacity and facility numbers through 2045

German hydrogen storage expansion could require €56 billion by 2045

November 11, 2026

German hydrogen storage development could require around €56 billion in investment by 2045 under a modelled transition pathway combining the conversion of existing gas storage facilities with substantial new construction. The analysis shows that repurposing natural gas storage alone would be insufficient to meet the assumed future hydrogen storage requirement. The study examines how Germany’s underground gas storage infrastructure could […]
