Germany, Italy, and Austria are collaborating to ease hydrogen imports from North Africa, particularly Algeria, where hydrogen production is cost-effective due to abundant solar and wind power. The three nations have signed an agreement in Brussels to construct import pipelines for transporting green hydrogen to Southern Germany via Italy and Austria. This initiative, part of the EU's 'project of common interest,' aims to establish a southern hydrogen corridor using existing natural gas pipelines. The plan involves using wind or solar-generated hydrogen from North Africa and transporting it through Tunisia to Italy, then to Austria, and finally to Germany, benefitting the southern German states. The project, supported by the EU, is seen as a significant step towards creating a connected European hydrogen network. Germany's hydrogen strategy targets importing 70% of its required hydrogen by 2030, with plans for five large-scale pipeline corridors. Algeria, potentially a key hydrogen supplier, could replace natural gas with hydrogen by 2030 and meet 10% of the EU's hydrogen demand by 2040. This tri-nation collaboration not only focuses on import infrastructure but also aligns with efforts to reduce carbon emissions and promote renewable energy sources.
