Algeria and Germany Strengthen Energy Cooperation on Gas, Methane, and Hydrogen

The Algerian Hydrocarbons Ministry engaged with a German delegation led by Oliver Rentschler to discuss energy cooperation. Key priorities identified include reducing methane emissions from gas production and accelerating technology deployment to limit flaring, as part of the bilateral 'TaqatHy' program.

Both nations are also addressing green hydrogen infrastructure, with teams working collaboratively. Algeria aims to become a producer and transformer rather than just a supplier, emphasizing local equipment manufacturing and knowledge transfer. The partnership seeks long-term benefits beyond current gas contracts, leveraging Algeria's geographic position and Berlin's industrial expertise.
