Italy, Germany, Austria, Tunisia and Algeria back hydrogen grid project
MILAN, Jan 21 (Reuters) – Italy, Germany, Austria, Algeria and Tunisia signed on Tuesday a joint declaration stating they would press ahead with a plan to build an hydrogen pipeline linking North Africa and Europe, Rome’s foreign and energy ministries said.
The so-called SouthH2 Corridor, which the countries discussed at a ministerial meeting in Rome, would allow the supply to Europe of green hydrogen produced on the southern shores of the Mediterranean.
The project, involving a group of companies including Italian gas grid operator Snam (SRG.MI), has been included in a list of Projects of Common Interest (PCI) by the European Commission.
