SoutH2 Corridor hydrogen infrastructure development

Overview

The SoutH2 Corridor project, an initiative involving Algeria, Tunisia, Italy, Austria, and Germany, has moved from political commitment toward technical implementation. Following the signing of the ‘Algiers Declaration’, which established a dedicated secretariat to oversee the transport of green hydrogen from North Africa to Europe, the project aims to meet approximately 10% of Europe’s projected green hydrogen demand by 2040.

Efforts to develop the hydrogen economy have expanded to include ministerial meetings in Rome, Algiers, and Vienna. To support the transition, individual nations are implementing financial measures. Austria is investing hundreds of millions of euros into domestic hydrogen projects and start-up networks, while Germany has introduced a ten-point plan featuring “difference cost contracts” to mitigate financial risks for industries transitioning to low-emission production.
