Advancing the Southern Hydrogen Corridor: Linking North Africa to Europe
Key Ideas
  • Energy ministers of Algeria, Tunisia, Italy, Austria, and Germany sign a declaration of intent to develop the 3,300 km Southern Hydrogen Corridor, connecting North Africa to Europe.
  • The corridor, expected to be operational by 2030, will facilitate the transport of hydrogen produced in Northern Africa and Southern Italy to European consumption areas, supporting the European Hydrogen Backbone.
  • Partnerships between energy companies and governments aim to advance green hydrogen production projects, such as H2 Notos in Tunisia, with the potential to scale up production and supply the European market through the corridor.
  • The project receives broad support from transmission system operators, political endorsements, and industry players, highlighting the strategic importance of hydrogen in achieving energy security, decarbonization, and job creation.
Energy ministers from Algeria, Tunisia, Italy, Austria, and Germany have taken a significant step towards realizing the Southern Hydrogen Corridor, a 3,300 km pipeline connecting North Africa to Europe. This initiative, expected to be operational by 2030, will enable the transport of hydrogen from Northern Africa and Southern Italy to key European consumption areas, forming part of the European Hydrogen Backbone. The project has garnered support from various stakeholders, including transmission system operators, political entities, and industry players, emphasizing the potential of hydrogen in enhancing energy security and driving decarbonization efforts. Additionally, projects like H2 Notos in Tunisia, a large-scale green hydrogen production endeavor, aim to leverage renewable energy sources to produce significant quantities of green hydrogen for the European market through the Southern Hydrogen Corridor. These collaborations between energy companies and governments signify a commitment to sustainability and job creation, with the potential to revolutionize the energy landscape by promoting cleaner energy solutions. The signing of agreements and declarations underscores the shared vision for a renewable and sustainable energy future, emphasizing the strategic importance of hydrogen in fostering energy cooperation, infrastructure development, and economic growth.
