Germany has emerged as a pioneer in hydrogen and ammonia technologies as part of its broader Energiewende (energy transition) strategy. Key maritime engine manufacturers such as MAN Energy Solutions and shipbuilders are actively developing dual-fuel propulsion systems tailored for inland and coastal shipping. The German government supports alternative fuels through its National Hydrogen Strategy, offering grants for infrastructure and technology development. Universities and research institutes are working closely with the private sector on ammonia combustion optimization and emissions control. Ports like Hamburg and Bremerhaven are assessing ammonia bunkering logistics and safety measures. While safety regulations and public acceptance remain moderate hurdles, Germany’s commitment to green shipping, technological leadership, and active policy engagement solidify its position as a mature market ready for commercialization.
