Empowering Europe with Green Hydrogen: The Ambitious H2 Notos Initiative in Tunisia
Key Ideas
  • TE H2, EREN Group, and VERBUND have signed an MoU with Tunisia for the 'H2 Notos' project to produce green hydrogen for Central Europe via a pipeline.
  • The initiative aims for an initial production of 200,000 tons annually, scaling up to one million tons, contributing to Europe's green hydrogen supply by 2030.
  • The project is set to create significant job opportunities in Tunisia and further the country's energy transition, receiving positive feedback from stakeholders and authorities.
  • Through the collaboration of the consortium, leveraging Tunisia's renewable resources, the project will offer sustainable, large-scale green hydrogen solutions for Europe's industrial needs.
TE H2, TotalEnergies, and EREN Group, in partnership with VERBUND, have initiated a landmark project named 'H2 Notos' in Tunisia. The project aims to produce green hydrogen by leveraging renewable resources, such as wind and solar energy, and desalinated seawater. 'H2 Notos' plans to initially produce 200,000 tons of green hydrogen annually, with ambitions to scale up to one million tons per year. The project intends to export green hydrogen to Central Europe through the 'SoutH2 Corridor' pipeline project that connects North Africa to Italy, Austria, and Germany. TE H2 and VERBUND will handle the development, financing, construction, and operation of the project, with VERBUND overseeing the transportation of hydrogen to Central Europe. The initiative has been met with enthusiasm from stakeholders, with Tunisia's Minister of Industry highlighting its significance in the country's energy transition and attracting foreign investment in renewables. VERBUND's CEO emphasized the project's role in providing Europe with competitive green hydrogen and promoting sustainable economic development in Tunisia. This collaboration signifies a major step towards sustainable energy production and highlights the potential for green hydrogen to drive economic growth and job creation in Tunisia. With a focus on renewable resources and international cooperation, the 'H2 Notos' initiative is poised to become a key player in Europe's transition to green energy.
