AlgeriaAustria, Germany, Italy and Tunisia have signed a declaration to develop the Southern Hydrogen Corridor, a 3,500 to 4,000 km project to transport hydrogen from North Africa to Europe via converted gas pipelines, with Tunisia and Algeria planning large-scale hydrogen production. “The Southern Hydrogen Corridor is one of them the largest and most important sustainable energy projects of our time,” said Philip Nimmermannthe German State Secretary for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection.
Sungrow hydrogen has agreed to supply ACME Group with water electrolysis systems for its 320 MW green ammonia project in Oman. The Chinese company said it will start production in 2026 with a daily output of 300 tons, and deliver the equipment by 2025.
Hoegh Evi has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with SEFE Securing Energy for Europe to assess the technical and commercial feasibility of supplying clean hydrogen to Germany via ammonia-based corridors. The analysis covers the purchasing, shipping and delivery of ammonia to floating terminals, where it will be converted into hydrogen for SEFE’s customers via the German hydrogen network. Hoegh Evi said The partnership will also explore potential sites for floating ammonia-to-hydrogen terminals along Germany’s Baltic and North Sea coasts and other European locations.
ArcelorMittal Poland has commissioned hydrogen furnaces at its Krakow plant, investing PLN 52 million ($12.8 million) to remove ammonia from the annealing process and shorten its duration. This shift has led to lower natural gas and electricity consumption. Kamil Kaczmarek, maintenance manager and technical leader of the project, noted that the new hydrogen furnaces are the first of their kind in Poland and the ArcelorMittal Group in Europe.
