The Leipzig-based energy company VNG AG has entered into a significant agreement with Algerian energy companies Sonatrach and Sonelgaz, along with Italian and Austrian partners, to explore the potential of producing green hydrogen at scale in Algeria. The collaborative effort, documented in a letter of intent signed in Oran, aims to examine the feasibility of a project to produce green hydrogen and export it from North Africa to countries like Italy, Austria, and Germany through the proposed 'South H2 Corridor.' This partnership sets the stage for joint studies to evaluate the technical and economic aspects of the envisioned large-scale green hydrogen initiative. VNG's involvement in this endeavor aligns with its strategic vision of transitioning towards renewable and decarbonised gases, such as biogas and hydrogen, as outlined in their 'VNG 2030+' strategy. The company, with its diverse portfolio of entities in the European energy sector, plays a crucial role in ensuring a reliable gas supply in Germany and is now expanding its focus to foster a sustainable and climate-friendly energy system for the future. By venturing into green hydrogen production and international collaboration, VNG and its partners are taking proactive steps towards a greener and more energy-sustainable future.
