Tunisia's Ministry of Industry, Mines and Energy, in collaboration with the German Agency for International Cooperation, has initiated a national roadmap for hydrogen aiming at significant exports by 2050. The roadmap outlines a plan to achieve 8.3 million tons of hydrogen production annually by 2050, with a major portion earmarked for export to Europe. This initiative involves a transition from 5 GW to 100 GW of installed renewable energy capacity by 2050. A commercial pilot project in Gabes on the Mediterranean coast will play a crucial role in this transformation, producing electrolytic hydrogen and ammonia between 2025 and 2030. The project envisions the production of 220 tons of hydrogen per year from a solar-fed electrolysis facility, with plans to store and utilize a portion for backup power via fuel cells. Additionally, the project aims to scale up the annual renewable ammonia production to 630 tons. Notably, Tunisia currently imports all ammonia for fertiliser production, but the pilot project in Gabes will enable the local production of renewable ammonia for fertiliser manufacturing, primarily DAP and MAP. The roadmap also highlights the potential of ammonia and methanol as maritime fuels in Tunisia due to its strategic location. Infrastructure for the project includes 8 MW of solar panels, backup power from grid connection, and a desalination plant, all to be deployed at the Tunisian Chemical Group site, with provisions for future expansion. The government is keen on implementing policies akin to those in Egypt to attract investments, streamline project approval procedures, and offer tax exemptions to support the hydrogen roadmap. Overall, this initiative signifies Tunisia's commitment to sustainable development and signifies a positive step towards energy transition and export growth.
