Hydrogen governance in Germany: a challenge for federal coordination
2023/07/12
Publication in “Regional & Federal Studies”
With the national hydrogen strategy, the German government has defined an initial framework for the integration of hydrogen into the energy system. At the subnational level, most of the federal states have also adopted their own hydrogen strategies. Clean Circles researcher Lucas Flath and his colleagues investigated the coherence of these strategies. The results have now been published in the journal “Regional & Federal Studies”.
