Government representatives from Algeria, Austria, Italy, Germany, and Tunisia, among others, have signed a joint letter of intent in Rome for a new hydrogen corridor that will link southern Europe with northern Africa via the Mediterranean Sea. The project aims to build a 3,500-kilometre hydrogen pipeline transporting over 163 terawatt hours (TWh) of hydrogen per year, with 55 TWh designated for Germany. The corridor will largely repurpose existing natural gas pipelines for efficient transport. Tunisia and Algeria are actively involved in hydrogen infrastructure projects, with Algeria partnering with European companies for large-scale production. The initiative is praised as a major renewable energy project, enhancing economic ties between North Africa and Europe. German involvement is highlighted as crucial in supporting local economies and fostering job creation in Algeria and Tunisia. The project is envisioned to bolster European energy security and promote decarbonisation strategies, with a focus on sustainability and local needs. The partnering countries aim to collaborate closely in establishing a robust value creation chain for the project's success.
