German Chancellor Olaf Scholz (left) visits a hybrid power plant where “green” hydrogen is made using wind power and fed into the gas grid. It plays a smaller role in electricity generation yet has been called the bridge fuel to the age of renewables – a flexible power source needed to complement variable wind and solar power.
