Algerian national oil company, Sonatrach, has signed Memorandum of Understandings with two German companies to cooperate on green hydrogen and downstream projects.
Sonatrach and H&R Group have agreed to cooperate on a feasibility study exploring the use of by-lubricants of the Arzew refinery in Algeria to develop mineral oil specialties including white oils, petroleum jellies, paraffin waxes and lubricants.
Arzew Refinery has a distillation capacity of 3 million tons of oil per annum and 60,000 barrels of oil per day. The deal is part of efforts by Sonatrach to deliver more value from its operations at Arzew, according to a statement.
