Released: March 2023

Summary Points:

In March 2023, the Algerian Ministry of Energy and Mines unveiled a national roadmap for hydrogen industry development.

A key plank of the roadmap is that Algeria aims to provide the European market with 10% of its hydrogen needs by 2040.

Media reports indicate that Algeria aims to produce and export 30-40TWh of gaseous and liquid hydrogen and hydrogen derivatives by 2040, and that the roadmap consists of three phases:

• start-up (2023-30), which will include pilot projects;
• expansion and market creation (2030-40); and
• industrialisation and market competitiveness (2040-50).

The securing of foreign financing and grants, as well as international strategic partnerships, is reported as an important aspect of the roadmap.

In January 2025, Italy, Germany, Austria, Algeria and Tunisia signed a joint declaration of intent to continue work on the development of the SoutH2 Corridor.
