The deal took effect earlier this year, they said.<\/p>\n<p>The terms of the agreement, including length and volumes, weren\u2019t immediately clear. VNG declined to comment. Sonatrach didn\u2019t immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p>Europe\u2019s largest economy has been struggling to find alternative supplies after former top-provider Russia curbed deliveries in the wake of the war in Ukraine. The region has mainly filled the gap with liquefied natural gas.<\/p>\n<p>Long-term gas delivery contracts are still scarce in Germany, with importers mainly relying on the volatile spot market. The US \u2014 a top global supplier of LNG \u2014 has imposed a moratorium on new export licenses while it studies the climate and economic impacts, creating uncertainty for the market.<\/p>\n<p>VNG in December 2022 agreed to collaborate with Sonatrach on energy matters, with the intent to create a German-Algerian value chain for hydrogen. The gas group\u2019s Chief Executive Officer Ulf Heitmueller is listed as part of the delegation accompanying Economy Minister Robert Habeck in Algeria this week. Uniper SE CEO Michael Lewis is also among the participants.<\/p>\n<p>Habeck is set to sign a bilateral hydrogen agreement with Algerian Energy Minister Mohamed Arkab on Thursday. Algeria aims to send green hydrogen from renewables to the European Union via an underwater gas pipeline grid. Feasibility studies for the project are under way.<\/p>\n<p data-component=\"paragraph\">Source : <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bnnbloomberg.ca\/german-utility-vng-inks-country-s-first-deal-with-algeria-for-pipeline-gas-1.2032140\">https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2024-02-07\/vng-inks-germany-s-first-deal-with-algeria-for-pipeline-gas?leadSource=uverify%20wall<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Economy Minister Habeck and delegation visit Algeria this week Berlin is seeking to bolster the nation\u2019s energy supplies German utility VNG AG&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":50,"featured_media":98636,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[12,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-98635","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-economy","category-featured-articles"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 -
