TE H2, a joint-venture between TotalEnergies and EREN Groupe, together with VERBUND has partnered with the Republic of Tunisia to study the implementation of a large green hydrogen project named “H2 Notos” for export to Central Europe through pipelines.
H2 Notos plans to generate green hydrogen by using electrolysers powered by large-scale onshore wind and solar projects, with desalinated sea water as a resource. Initially, the project aims to generate 200,000 tons of green hydrogen annually, with the potential to increase production to one million tons per year in South Tunisia.
Furthermore, the hydrogen will be transported to the European market through the SoutH2 Corridor, a pipeline project connecting North Africa with Italy, Austria, and Germany, expected to be operational by 2030.
TE H2 and VERBUND will be responsible for the development, financing, construction, and operation of the integrated project from production of green electricity to production of green hydrogen. Additionally, VERBUND will oversee the transport of the produced hydrogen towards Central Europe.
