Germany and Denmark have signed a declaration of intent to cooperate on the construction of a land-based pipeline that will supply green hydrogen from Denmark to Germany by 2028. The pipeline will enable the transmission of green hydrogen from the Scandinavian country to Europe's largest economy. The declaration of intent builds on the green hydrogen partnership that was established last May between the two countries. The partnership aims to advance the green hydrogen rollout and provide support to potential hydrogen infrastructure operators and users.

As part of the partnership, Denmark plans to build an electrolysis capacity of 4 GW - 6 GW by the end of this decade to export the clean fuel to places such as Germany, where demand is increasing. To support this effort, the two countries will assist potential hydrogen transmission operators in applying for designation as Projects of Common Interest for the Connecting Europe Facility and get involved in discussions on the distribution of generated renewable energy target amounts.

In the past year, Germany has formed multiple international alliances, including with Denmark, Egypt, Norway, the UAE, Canada, and Australia, to ensure enough import of green hydrogen to meet its domestic demand.
