Saudi Arabia and France have agreed to strengthen their cooperation in the energy sector, with a strong focus on hydrogen and electricity produced from low emission and renewable resources. The joint communiqué issued after the meeting between Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman and French Minister for Energy Transition Agnes Pannier-Runacher highlights the mutual commitment to sustainable energy solutions. Both countries recognize the significance of clean hydrogen in achieving sustainable economic development while mitigating climate change impacts. They have also pledged to collaborate on advancing climate technologies such as carbon capture and storage for hard-to-abate sectors. The partnership aims to enhance electricity generation from renewable sources, promote energy efficiency, and develop nuclear energy in a secure framework. Saudi Arabia seeks to become a leading exporter of hydrogen and electricity from low emission resources globally, leveraging its abundant renewable energy sources and strategic location. France's strategy includes a public investment program to accelerate renewable energy development with a goal of 100GW by 2050. The Saudi-French collaboration focuses on technology development, business cooperation, and policy regulation to facilitate the deployment of hydrogen and renewable energy solutions. A joint roadmap outlines the steps to advance these initiatives, including partnering with private sectors and creating a certification framework for consistency in international trade. Both countries are dedicated to maximizing the utilization of local resources and ensuring the flexibility and effectiveness of energy supplies. They have agreed to establish a 'French-Saudi Task-Force' to drive outcomes in hydrogen and other energy-related domains.
