More precisely, a mixture of 80% hydrogen and 20% natural gas (because hydrogen itself is a very volatile gas). For this mixture, the existing infrastructure of gas pipelines and underground storage facilities can be operated without changes. Moreover, two years ago the European Union published a hydrogen strategy for a climate-neutral Europe. Of course, the covid-19 pandemic and Russia's invasion of Ukraine have pretty much confused the cards, but the EU has no other strategy on this issue.
I mean if they could do that, they could definitely find a supplement that would help, but we still need to go with the renewable route and if we do not then we are going to have a trouble. All the things we need gas for, should be turning into electricity, maybe "some" stuff won't but it needs to be done and it needs to be done right now.

I know that it is not going to be an easy task, but finding supplements right now is not the solution neither. Hydrogen or not, it is going to take a ton of money to replace, and when we have something much better with solar, water wind, and so forth, changing gas needs to electricity needs would be a smarter and easier transition.
I am not from Germany but the electricity cost has increased to 50% also we suffer so much power outage.
Almost we don't have electricity for approx 4/5 hours daily - our daily routine is badly affected.
