The electrification of the industrial, transportation, and heating sectors will play a major role in reaching carbon neutrality, a goal that Germany has set for 2045. According to the Climate-neutral power system scenario 2035, the electricity consumption of the country is forecast to grow by approximately 200 terawatt-hours between 2022 and 2035, with conventional electricity demand contributing the largest share. Electric power consumption for the production of hydrogen (H2-electrolysis) is expected to reach 111 terawatt-hours by the end of the period.
