Germany and Algeria establish hydrogen task force

Germany will support Algeria in developing its hydrogen infrastructure and production in the future. The Algerian-German Hydrogen Task Force was established for this purpose. Together, they will create the framework conditions for the production, storage and transport of green hydrogen. 

This hydrogen will later be imported to Germany via a gas pipeline. Algeria has set itself the goal of supplying 10% of the EU's hydrogen demand.
