Algiers – On Sunday, August 31, 2025, the Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, Kamel Badari, oversaw the launch of the BAHU green hydrogen bus engine project at the ministry’s headquarters, according to a statement from Sabaq Press.
The project is part of efforts to valorize research and development outcomes and transform innovations into tangible, manufacturable results. It focuses on converting diesel bus engines to operate on green hydrogen, as outlined in the ministry’s statement.
The same source noted that this project is expected to contribute to saving 31% of local energy production.
The statement further highlighted that the green hydrogen bus engine will significantly reduce carbon emissions generated by diesel fuel, contributing to the government’s sustainable development goals for the 2024/2029 program.
The meeting was attended by representatives from the Ministry of National Defense, the Central Directorate of Military Industries, the Director General of Scientific Research and Technological Development, the Director of the National Higher School of Renewable Energies, directors of research centers, researchers specializing in green hydrogen, and the National Company for Industrial Vehicles.
Note: The search results provided earlier confirm Algeria’s commitment to green hydrogen development, with its vast solar energy potential and infrastructure supporting competitive production. This aligns with the BAHU project’s aim to leverage green hydrogen for sustainable transport solutions.
