Germany has signed a letter of intent with Algeria, Austria, Italy, and Tunisia to establish a Southern Hydrogen Corridor connecting North Africa and Southern Europe. This partnership was formalized in a meeting in Rome involving the concerned nations, Switzerland, and the European Commission. The proposed hydrogen pipeline, spanning 3500 kilometers, is set to transport more than 163 terawatt hours of hydrogen annually, with Germany receiving 55 TWh. The German Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action has emphasized the project's significance, stating that it represents one of the most crucial renewable energy endeavors of the current era. By leveraging North Africa's abundant renewable energy resources, the corridor aims to accelerate Germany's hydrogen transition and contribute to the EU's climate objectives. The initiative highlights a strong commitment to fostering international collaboration and sustainable energy practices in the involved regions.
