Algeria is preparing to boost its green hydrogen exports to Europe via the South H2 Corridor project, which links Algeria with Tunisia, Italy, Austria, and Germany. The project aims to transport around 4 million tons annually of hydrogen through a pipeline network extending approximately 3,000 kilometers, while exploring the possibility of utilizing existing natural gas transmission infrastructure.
Algeria expects the initial results of the feasibility study for the Algeria-Europe Hydrogen Alliance (ALTEH2A) project to be released during 2027, according to its Minister of Energy and Renewable Energies, Mohamed Arkab.
The project relies on Algeria's potential in solar energy and its energy sector infrastructure, in addition to its geographical proximity to European markets.
It also aims to develop a local hydrogen value chain that includes the production of equipment, electrolysis, storage, and maintenance, with opportunities for hydrogen use in the iron and steel, fertilizer, and chemical industries.
