Before the war in Ukraine, the Tunisian Electricity and Gas Company (STEG) highlighted the potential of green hydrogen to stabilize the country's renewable energy sector, facing challenges of production rate control and seasonal consumption fluctuations. Amid the energy crisis in Europe, efforts to export hydrogen shifted focus from national needs to EU aspirations. The article discusses the need to revise Tunisia's energy policies to prioritize local demand and reduce reliance on imported natural gas. Recommendations include emphasizing solar and hydroelectric power, community-driven renewable energy projects, and public partnerships to produce ammonia locally. By aligning energy strategies with national interests, Tunisia can address energy deficiencies and promote development sustainably.
