no, hydrogen production through electricity is 70-80% efficient. Given that solar panels installed in Africa cost 1/3rd per TWh of production (lower land and labor costs plus more sun so more production per panel) compared to Germany, producing hydrogen from solar panels installed Algeria and transporting this to Germany is more cost effective than solar in Germany. Also, hydrogen can be directly used in industry just like natural gas, no need to convert it back to electricity.
Current proposed pipelines already exceed 50 percent if Germany’s total energy need (note, electricity us only 40 percent of all energy needed in Germany).
