Iberdrola inaugurates 496-MW Saint-Brieuc wind farm offshore France
Sep 19, 2024 16:25 CESTHydrogene de France SA (EPA:EDF), or HDF Energy, plans to build an 800-MW electrolysis plant to produce green hydrogen in Tunisia to serve the local market and export to Europe.
The French company has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Tunisia's Ministry of Energy for the project which will require an initial investment of about EUR 3 billion (USD 3.29bn).

The electrolyser, powered by 1 GW of wind energy and 500 MW of solar PV, is expected to produce up to 65,000 tonnes of hydrogen. The green molecules are mainly designated for export to Europe through the SoutH2 pipeline.
The pact is one of six MoUs that Tunisia inked at the end of July with European companies targeting the production of green hydrogen in the North African country and its export to Europe.
“Through the signing of these six agreements, Tunisia aims to implement the national strategy for green hydrogen and its derivatives by 2050, by attracting investments exploiting available national resources as well as existing industrial and energy infrastructure. Tunisia positions itself to produce 8.3 million tons of green hydrogen and its derivatives by 2050, of which 2.3 million tons are intended for the local market and 6 million tons for export, with total investments estimated at around 120 billion,” the ministry said.
