The Core Of Sunak’s Manifesto

I have a feeling, that the core of Sunak’s manifesto is a massive German project called H2ercules, which is intended to bring low-carbon hydrogen to industry in South Germany.

There will be a massive hydrogen hub at Wilhelmshaven on the North-Western coast, which is being built by Uniper, from which hydrogen will be imported and distributed.

I suspect that the Germans aim to source the hydrogen worldwide from places like Australia, the Middle East and Namibia. It would be brought from and round the Cape by tanker. The Suez route would be too risky.

But RWE, who are one of the UK’s largest electricity suppliers, are planning to deliver 7.2 GW of electricity in British waters on the Dogger Bank and North-East of Great Yarmouth.

Both wind farms would be difficult to deliver profitably to the UK, because Eastern England already has enough electricity and the Nimbies are objecting to more pylons.

I believe that RWE will build offshore electrolysers and coastal hydrogen tankers will take the hydrogen to Wilhelmshaven.

H2ercules will be fed with the hydrogen needed.

By the end of the next parliament, the Germans could be paying us substantial sums for green hydrogen, to decarbonise their industry.

Rishi Sunak hinted in his speech, that we will be exporting large amounts of energy.

Much of it will be in the form of green hydrogen to Germany.

If we need hydrogen for our industry, we would create it from some of our own wind farms.
