The Department of Energy of the Philippines is partnering with the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Energy to establish a roadmap for collaboration in various energy-related areas, including petroleum derivatives and native hydrogen. This initiative, set to be finalized early next year, aims to strengthen energy security, economic growth, and sustainable development in the Philippines by tapping into Saudi Arabia's extensive experience and technological expertise. President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. participated in a recent summit where Saudi state-owned companies expressed interest in investing in the Philippine energy sector. Energy Secretary Raphael P.M. Lotilla highlighted Saudi Energy Minister Abdulaziz bin Salman Al Saud's interest in the Philippines' native hydrogen resources, signaling promising cooperation between the two countries. The collaboration also encompasses sustainable aviation fuel, digital technology for electrical systems management, and energy efficiency to drive innovation and sustainability in the energy industry. By joining forces with Saudi Arabia, the Philippines aims to adopt advanced energy efficiency technologies and practices to reduce costs, lower energy consumption, and contribute to a more sustainable energy landscape.
