Italy, in collaboration with Germany, Austria, Algeria, and Tunisia, presented the Southern Hydrogen Corridor project to establish a strategic infrastructure to transport renewable hydrogen from North Africa to Central Europe. The initiative, also known as SouthH2, focuses on utilizing existing infrastructure to transport green hydrogen, contributing to the European energy mix and targets for decarbonization. The signing of the joint declaration in Rome underlines the political and institutional value of the project, with key government officials from involved countries emphasizing cooperation for a sustainable energy future. The infrastructure, led by energy operators like Snam and Bayernets, is set to be operational by January 2030 and has been designated as a Project of Common Interest by the EU, aligning with the goal of climate neutrality by 2050. This initiative not only strengthens energy cooperation between continents but also enhances economic and political ties with Mediterranean countries, promoting renewable energy sectors and international cooperation. The project also includes plans for an entrepreneurial forum to explore opportunities in the hydrogen supply chain and solidify Italy's position as an energy bridge between regions. Minister Pichetto highlighted the significance of integrating hydrogen into energy decarbonization strategies, emphasizing the importance of sustainable energy sources for a reliable energy system. The Southern Hydrogen Corridor project represents a substantial step towards achieving European energy goals and fostering international cooperation in the energy sector.
