When it comes to energy use, one of the primary considerations is the impact on the environment, therefore, the development of renewable energy sources has recently received more attention. North Africa has an abundance of renewable energy (RE) resources, especially solar energy and wind energy. The annual average solar irradiation is 2200 kWh/m2 and the wind speed in the coastal region of the North African countries is up to 9.5 m/s. If these resources are well exploited, they can supply the energy needs of North Africa and beyond.1 Wind and solar energy are two renewable sources of energy that will be advantageous in the production of green hydrogen, which will be used for a variety of applications including industrial heat, materials (steel and fertilizer), space heating, and transportation fuel. Natural gas infrastructure may be used to store and transport hydrogen over vast distances in a cost-effective manner, allowing for seasonal storage and transportation of hydrogen.2 According to the European Union (EU), green hydrogen is a top priority for achieving the European Green Deal. North Africa through its abundance RE resources can be a source of hydrogen for Europe, and the hydrogen produced in North Africa will be beneficial to both Europe and North Africa, and at long term also Sub-Saharan Africa.2 presenters: Gloria Gladis Sondakh, Xavier Musonye, M.
