How Early Climate Leadership Locked Germany Into The Wrong Hydrogen Bet

•Germany's early climate policies (1990s-2000s) led to significant investment in a hydrogen strategy, now critiqued as a 'wrong bet' due to limited options at the time.
•This historical policy lock-in resulted in potentially misdirected infrastructure, such as a 'pipeline from nowhere to nowhere,' indicating inefficient resource allocation.
•For developers, this highlights the risks of long-term policy commitments to specific technologies that may become suboptimal as alternatives evolve.
