Oman, represented by the Ministry of Energy and Minerals, and the Netherlands, represented by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy, signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) in the field of green energy.
The signing took place on the sidelines of the Conference of Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change for 2022 (COP27),  hosted by Egypt and lasting from  November 6th to 18th.
The MoU reflects the advanced relations between the two countries and their desire to enhance cooperation in the field of green energy.
The MoU encourages the two countries to support their respective companies operating in the field to identify export and import checkpoints for green hydrogen, associated fuel sources and raw material, serving as a gateway to Europe.
The MoU, which explores potential interests in industries within the value chain of green hydrogen, also encourages interaction between the various bodies responsible for implementing energy policy to help exchange expertise, knowledge and information about green hydrogen.
Meanwhile the  World Leaders Summit began in Egypt which will include speeches and discussions on climate issues, in the presence of about 120 heads of state and governments, international personalities and experts.
