The European Union has allocated $27.4 million to support the Italian H2 Backbone project, which is part of a larger initiative to establish a 3,300 km pipeline for transporting hydrogen from North Africa to Europe by 2030. Despite challenges in export strategies, Algeria and Tunisia are on board to contribute 8% of the pipeline's capacity. The EU is also investing in green energy projects in other African countries like Kenya, Mauritania, and Namibia. However, a recent study raises concerns about the economic viability of African green hydrogen for European markets due to high production costs without significant policy interventions. The EU is aiming to foster energy transition and trade relations with Africa, particularly in the green hydrogen sector, to support the decarbonization goals of both regions.
