Algerian Energy and Renewable Energies Minister, Murad Aghal, announced on Thursday in Algiers that the initial results of the feasibility study for the Algeria-Europe hydrogen alliance project, ALTEH2A, are expected to be released in 2027. The project aims to produce green hydrogen in Algeria and transport it to Europe. Aghal made the announcement during the opening of the second ministerial meeting of the Southern Hydrogen Corridor, South H2 Corridor.
The ALTEH2A project has reached a significant stage with the launch of the feasibility study, which focuses on identifying and analyzing potential sites for renewable hydrogen production in Algeria, determining project costs, and evaluating market possibilities in Europe. The study also examines various transportation options. The project is a collaboration between Algeria and its European partners to develop the hydrogen sector.
The Algeria-Europe hydrogen alliance project seeks to utilize Algeria's renewable energy resources to produce green hydrogen. The Southern Hydrogen Corridor is a related infrastructure project that involves cross-border pipelines dedicated to transporting green hydrogen and supplying the European market. The meeting was attended by several high-ranking officials, including Algerian Minister of State and Hydrocarbons Minister, Mohamed Arkab.
The second ministerial meeting of the Southern Hydrogen Corridor was held at the International Conference Center in Algiers, with participation from Algerian and European officials, including the European Union's ambassador to Algeria, Diego Miado Pasqua. The meeting also saw the presence of the head of the Algerian Economic Renewal Council, Kamel Moula, and ambassadors of countries involved in the green hydrogen project.
The project's goal is to leverage Algeria's renewable energy potential to produce green hydrogen, which will be transported to Europe through the Southern Hydrogen Corridor. This infrastructure project is crucial for the development of the hydrogen sector in Algeria and Europe. The ALTEH2A project's feasibility study is a significant step towards achieving this goal.
Minister Aghal emphasized the efforts being made by Algeria and its partners to develop the hydrogen sector. The project's progress was discussed during the ministerial meeting, which brought together officials from Algeria, Europe, and Tunisia. The meeting provided a platform for stakeholders to review the project's status and discuss future plans.
The release of the initial study results in 2027 will provide valuable insights into the project's viability and potential. The ALTEH2A project is an important initiative that can contribute to the development of the hydrogen sector in Algeria and Europe. The project's success can also serve as a model for future collaborations between countries in the region.
