H2 Notos: Tunisia's Ambitious Green Hydrogen Export Project
Key Ideas
  • TotalEnergies joint venture to study H2 Notos project in Tunisia for exporting green hydrogen to Central Europe through pipelines.
  • Aiming to produce 200,000 tons of green hydrogen annually with plans to scale up to one million tons per year in South Tunisia.
  • Project will utilize onshore wind and solar projects with desalinated sea water to produce green hydrogen, supporting sustainable energy transition.
  • Collaboration between TE H2, Verbund, and Tunisia's government marks a significant step towards clean energy development and economic growth.
A TotalEnergies joint venture, TE H2, in collaboration with Austria's Verbund, is embarking on a groundbreaking project named H2 Notos in Tunisia. The project aims to produce green hydrogen through electrolyzers powered by onshore wind and solar projects, supported by desalinated sea water. With an initial goal of producing 200,000 tons annually, the project has plans to scale up to one million tons per year in South Tunisia. Through the SoutH2 Corridor pipeline, the green hydrogen will be exported to Europe, particularly to Italy, Austria, and Germany. The project is expected to play a significant role in supplying Europe with green hydrogen while creating job opportunities in Tunisia. TE H2 and Verbund will oversee the entire project from green electricity production to hydrogen production, with Verbund coordinating the transportation of hydrogen to Central Europe. The project has received positive feedback from Tunisia's government, emphasizing the strategic importance of the project in promoting renewable energies and attracting foreign investment. The collaboration between TE H2, Verbund, and Tunisia signifies a step towards sustainable energy development and economic growth. With a focus on affordability, sustainability, reliability, and accessibility of energy, the project aims to be a global leader in producing renewable energy. The partnership between the companies involved highlights a commitment to a cleaner, greener future, emphasizing the potential for green hydrogen to support sustainable economic development in Tunisia and across Europe.
