- The Algerian-German energy cooperation has just resulted in a new project. Launched on December 7th, 2020, the “green municipalities” programme will support 34 Algerian municipalities in their efforts to develop renewable energies and
use energy efficiency technologies. The Algerian state has developed an energy transition strategy and an ambitious development program involving to renewable energies and energy efficiency, which must be completed in 2030. The vast areas of the Algerian Sahara that have maximum sunshine lend themselves well to the production of solar energy, as an inexhaustible energy potential to produce around 3,000 kWh per square meter, according to forecasts. The national plan for the production of green hydrogen, which is obtained by the electrolysis of water, was approved last May. It includes the launch of market studies, development and regulations. Algeria hopes to sell hydrogen instead of natural gas to Spain and Italy starting 2030, using the same pipelines. https://www.arabnews.com/node/1970821.
