Background

The SoutH2 corridor aims to connect Algeria to Europe through Italy, aiming for 4 Mtpa of Hydrogen import by 2030. This corridor is part of the larger European Hydrogen Backbone plan, and is the main section that will operate in Southern Europe.

The following pipelines are part of the route that needs to be newly built for this corridor:

Benevento–Biccari Gas Pipeline, Camisano-Zimella Gas Pipeline, Istrana–Mira Gas Pipeline, Malborghetto-Camisano Gas Pipeline, Melizzano–Benevento Gas Pipeline, Minerbio–Ravenna Terra Gas Pipeline, Tarvisio-Malborghetto Gas Pipeline.

In October 2024, Algeria launched a feasibility study for SoutH2.
