Google Gemini generated this infographic illustrating the stark mismatch between the massive scale of Germany's planned hydrogen infrastructure and current realistic demand.
Germany recently completed and pressurized the first roughly 400km segment of its national hydrogen backbone. The pipes are in the ground, the compressors work, and the system is technically ready.
