Algeria is in talks with Germany to become a key supplier of green hydrogen for Europe’s largest economy and eventually upgrade its pipeline connections to reach a wider swathe of the continent.
The goal is to cover up to 10% of European demand for green hydrogen, similar to the H2Med pipeline project from Spain and Portugal, according to a statement from the Economy Ministry in Berlin, which came during meetings between German and Algerian officials.
