Regarding the first element, which is the energy source, our analysis has determined that all regions of Algeria benefit from substantial levels of solar energy, not just the desert areas. The abundant availability of solar energy presents a valuable opportunity for renewable energy projects throughout the country.
The Algerian solar power supply chain grew significantly in the last decade and now seeks to add IPP development, engineering and design capabilities, EPC services, inverters manufacturing, storage solution manufacturing, universal certification expertise, and operations and maintenance services.
By continuing to develop and refine these systems, Algeria has the potential to advance its renewable energy objectives significantly, contributing to the global shift toward a sustainable and low-carbon future. The datasets used and/or analysed during the current study available from the corresponding author on reasonable request.
By establishing green hydrogen production facilities in the northern coastal regions, Algeria can capitalize on its abundant marine resources to advance environmentally friendly energy initiatives. The electrolysis of seawater not only produces green hydrogen but also facilitates the extraction of valuable sea salt as a by-product.
