ACWA Power and Tunisia partner for green hydrogen project

This will support Tunisia’s strategy of exporting green hydrogen to Europe.

Saudi-based ACWA Power signed a memorandum of understanding with the Tunisian Government for the potential development of a green hydrogen facility in which produce will be exported to Europe.

In a statement, ACWA said the project could be developed in three phases and capable of producing up to 600,000 tonnes of green hydrogen annually.

Fatma Thabet Chiboub, Minister of Industry, Mines and Energy in Tunisia, and ACWA Power CEO Marco Arcelli signed the memorandum.

Ouael Chouchene, Tunisian Secretary of State for Energy Transition, said the project is aligned with the country’s national green hydrogen strategy which targets to produce 8.3 million tonnes of green hydrogen annually and by-products by 2050.

The strategy also includes exporting over six million tonnes of green hydrogen to Europe by 2050.

“This project can also contribute significantly to economic growth, job creation, and sustainable energy solutions, exemplifying our shared vision for a greener future,” Arcelli said.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
