They plan to roll out the infrastructure between western Denmark and northern Germany from 2028. Denmark aims to produce 4–6GW of green hydrogen production capacity by 2030, which would allow it to export excess volumes to Germany’s “large and increasing demand” for the fuel, according to the joint declaration. 4-6GW – Danish green hydrogen production by 2030 Germany is increasingly setting up cross-border transmission infrastructure with its European neighbours. It aims to have a Belgia
