Tunisia signed six memorandums of understanding (MoUs) to advance its green hydrogen production strategy. The agreements were formalized in the presence of Industry, Mines and Energy Minister Fatma Thabet Chiboub.
The MoUs involve partnerships with a range of international companies:
- TUNUR, a joint venture involving British and Maltese interests, Norwegian firm Aker Horizons, and Austrian group Verbund.
- British company Savannah Energy.
- French firm Hydrogène de France.
- French company Amarenco in collaboration with Jordanian company H2 Global.
- Belgian company DEME Energy.
- German firm Abo Energy.
These agreements mark a significant step in Tunisia’s national strategy to develop green hydrogen and its derivatives by 2050. The country’s goal is to attract local investment and leverage existing industrial and energy infrastructure.
The strategy aims to produce 8.3 million tonnes of green hydrogen and its derivatives by 2050, with 2.3 million tonnes allocated for the local market and 6 million tonnes earmarked for export. The total investment in this ambitious project is estimated at around €120 billion.
By partnering with these global firms, Tunisia is positioning itself as a key player in the green hydrogen sector, boosting its economic development and contributing to the global transition towards sustainable energy.
