The visit, organized by the German-Algerian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, spans from September 21 to 25 and includes engagements in both Algeria and Tunisia. The first phase of the mission is taking place in Algiers, involving a high-level Business Breakfast with government representatives, energy companies, financial institutions, and research sector entities, alongside direct meetings with potential market partners.<\/p>\n<p>The German firms are focusing on various segments of the hydrogen value chain, including electrolysis, water treatment and desalination, storage, compression, industrial equipment, pipeline reconversion, materials, engineering, certification, and feasibility studies. This exploration goes beyond mere commercial transactions, aiming to facilitate partnerships that could lead to the localization of industries and equipment, establishing a production base within Algeria. Experts suggest this German interest is linked to shifts in the European energy landscape, driving Berlin to seek new energy sources and partners, with Algeria identified as a key player due to its geographical position and energy capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>Algeria possesses significant natural and geographical advantages, such as vast desert areas and extensive solar resources, which can be leveraged for renewable electricity production essential for electrolysis facilities. The SoutH2 corridor is particularly significant, as it aims to connect North <a class=\"dzsl-auto-link dzsl-external\" data-dzsl=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.au.int\/en\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Africa<\/a> with European markets via Italy and Austria to Germany. Discussions have included the potential repurposing of existing gas infrastructure for hydrogen transport, which could reduce infrastructure costs. This collaboration offers Algeria a strategic opportunity to transition from exporting a natural resource to building a new energy and industrial system based on renewable electricity and hydrogen, potentially creating new technical and engineering jobs, and diversifying the national industrial fabric.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A delegation of 11 German companies has commenced an exploratory mission to Algeria, focusing on green hydrogen investment and the development of the SoutH2 industrial corridor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":79173,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","iawp_total_views":2,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-79174","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-algeria"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dzwatch.dz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79174","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dzwatch.dz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dzwatch.dz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dzwatch.dz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dzwatch.dz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=79174"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/dzwatch.dz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79174\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":79175,"href":"https:\/\/dzwatch.dz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79174\/revisions\/79175"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dzwatch.dz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/79173"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dzwatch.dz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=79174"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dzwatch.dz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=79174"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dzwatch.dz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=79174"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
