Hecate Energy and Tosyali Algerie to Develop Major Green Hydrogen Plant in Algeria
Key Ideas
  • US-based Hecate Energy and Tosyali Algerie are partnering to build a green hydrogen plant in Algeria for green steel production.
  • The project, based on 2024 studies, will involve Sonatrach, Sonelgaz, Hecate, and Tosyali, aiming to support Algeria's energy transition goals.
  • The initiative aligns with Algeria's plan to increase renewables to 27% of its energy mix by 2026, supported by EU and German studies on green hydrogen development.
  • The project will be executed in two phases: feasibility studies and construction, with no details disclosed on costs, location, or production capacity.
US-based Hecate Energy and Tosyali Algerie are set to collaborate on the development of a significant green hydrogen plant in Algeria. This partnership with one of Africa's largest steel manufacturers aims to facilitate green steel production in the region. The project, initiated based on 2024 studies, has garnered the support of Sonatrach and Sonelgaz, Algeria's state-owned companies, in addition to Hecate and Tosyali. A memorandum of understanding is anticipated to be established to advance the integrated green hydrogen project. The development will occur in two phases: the first focusing on feasibility and profitability studies, while the second phase will involve the physical construction. This endeavor is pivotal in aiding Algeria's energy transition objectives and aligns with the country's target of increasing renewables to 27% of the energy mix by 2026. Furthermore, the project is bolstered by EU and German BMZ-sponsored studies valued at EUR28 million, which are geared towards fostering green hydrogen initiatives and reducing emissions. Despite the positive outlook, specific details such as the project's cost, location, and production capacity have not been disclosed as of yet.
