Green Hydrogen Production: German Mission Targets Electrolysis, Storage and Pipeline Conversion in Algiers

Algiers is about to showcase some exciting German green hydrogen expertise as a delegation rolls into town this month. This mission is brought to life by energiewaechter GmbH, teaming up with AHK Algérie and its Tunisian counterpart under the guidance of the BMWK’s Exportinitiative Energie. They’re bringing in companies that specialize in everything from electrolysis and desalination to compression and hydrogen storage, all aimed at aligning with Algeria’s National Hydrogen Strategy and the proposed SoutH2 Corridor.

This visit builds on the foundations laid by the Algerian–German Hydrogen Task Force, which was established after a joint declaration aimed at setting the stage for producing, transporting, and marketing green hydrogen and its derivatives. Algeria has its sights set on producing around 40 TWh of renewable hydrogen by 2040, with plans to export 30-40 TWh to Europe, thanks to its vast solar resources, boasting over 2,500 kWh/m²/year in desert regions and strong coastal winds. Germany is on the lookout for dependable low-carbon supplies to help decarbonize its heavy industry and meet its targets under the REPowerEU plan. By linking German tech innovators with Algerian partners like Sonatrach and the Ministry of Energy and Mines, the mission aims to operationalize corridors that stretch from North Africa to Central Europe and explore models for large-scale hydrogen infrastructure.
