Germany will participate to the energy interconnection project “H2Med”the first hydroduct that will connect the Iberian Peninsula with the rest of Europe and will be operational in 2030.
“We have decided to extend ‘H2Med’, which unites thanks to European funds Portugal, Spain and Franceto Germany, which will be a partner in the infrastructure of this project,” French President Emmanuel Macron announced the act that culminated the Franco-German summit to resolve tensions between Paris and Berlin in 2022.
Macron has indicated that there is “a will” to promote green hydrogen at European level.
At a Euro-Mediterranean summit in Alicante on December 9, France, Spain and Portugal agreed on the construction of this submarine hydroduct between Barcelona and Marseille.
This agreement will enable the transport of green hydrogen across Europe in a context of seeking alternatives to polluting energy sources, in times of crisis due to the war in Ukraine.
The project includes two cross-border infrastructures, one between Celorico da Beira (Portugal) and Zamora, and another submarine, between Barcelona and Marseille, as well as two main axes.

“In 2050, it is estimated that 20% of all energy in Europe will be renewable hydrogen,” Spain’s Ministry of Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge has indicated.
