DW: Germany and Canada set to sign hydrogen deal
Chancellor Scholz and Prime Minister Trudeau were set to travel to Newfoundland, the future home of a green hydrogen plant, to sign the agreement. German energy companies have already agreed to import Canadian hydrogen.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau were set to attend an economic conference in Toronto on Tuesday. They were expected to travel to Newfoundland to sign deals for Germany to import green hydrogen from Canada.

Update #2: German chancellor says he is working fast to find alternatives to Russian gas (The Guardian)
WNU Editor: German Chancellor Olaf Scholz's trip to Canada was a waste of time. He wants Canadian natural gas but there are no surplus pipelines to carry the natural gas that Germany needs from Canada's energy rich western provinces to Canada's eastern ports.
And as for this hydrogen deal.
Nothing but talk and vague promises that maybe in a couple of years it will be feasible to ship Canadian hydrogen to Germany. My prediction. Another green program for the Canadian government to pump money that it does not have on the hope that it will replace fossil fuels.
