This MoU will allow the parties to examine jointly the opportunity to implement an integrated multi-stakeholders project throughout the value chain of green hydrogen using the SoutH2 Corridor, a 3300 km pipeline project. SoutH2 Corridor will play a major role in the reduction of the energetic dependence on fossil energies and promoting an energy transition towards a low carbon and sustainable economy. Achieving this ambitious project has the potential to satisfy the European green energy needs and will allow to strengthen Algeria's position as a major energy supplier to Europe.
