Riyadh and Tokyo Forge Strong Partnership for Clean Energy and Green Hydrogen Development
Key Ideas
  • Tokyo and Riyadh are deepening collaboration in sensitive technologies, clean energy, and green hydrogen production.
  • Both countries aim to achieve zero carbon emissions within specific timelines, leveraging each other's resources and expertise.
  • Academic partnerships and human resource development are key aspects of the Saudi-Japan cooperation, extending beyond trade.
  • Expectations are high for increased bilateral trade, infrastructure projects, and smart city developments between Japan and Saudi Arabia.
Tokyo and Riyadh are strengthening their partnership in the clean energy sector, with a focus on clean energy technology and green hydrogen production. Japan aims to cooperate with Saudi Arabia in areas such as clean energy, ammonia production, and reducing carbon emissions, with an emphasis on utilizing Saudi Arabia's natural resources in solar and wind energy. The Japanese-Saudi dialogue includes agreements on clean energy, clean ammonia, and carbon recycling to achieve zero carbon by 2050 in Japan and 2060 in Saudi Arabia. The collaboration extends beyond trade, with initiatives such as academic partnerships, human resource training, and research projects funded by the Mohammed bin Salman Center for Future Sciences and Technology. Japanese organizations like the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) expect a surge in bilateral trade, driven by exports of Japanese products like cars, technology, and electronics, and Saudi imports, primarily crude oil. JETRO plans to enhance cooperation through infrastructure projects and smart city developments, aligning with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030. The Expo Osaka 2025 will feature strong participation from Saudi Arabia, showcasing the deepening ties between the two countries. This partnership signifies a positive step towards sustainable energy practices and mutual economic growth.
