Yeah… Germany has so much renewable energy they’re bringing coal plants back online.
Good guy Norway on the renewables though. Definitely not one of the largest crude oil exporters either.
That said, I do like the idea of converting excess energy to hydrogen. If only there was an energy source that wouldn’t cause global warming, would be a great base load next to more fickle renewables, and which could be diverted to generating hydrogen when demand for energy is low.
Germany has a lot of renewable sources and it’s full on building much more. You’re confusing it with their dumb policy of closing nuclear power plants. They are also considering hydrogen as storage to replace coal and gas power plants during winter. Note winter, they have not much problems during summer where electricity is abundant and often has a negative price.
What does Norway being oil exporter have anything to do with this topic?
