Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly and Minister-President of Bavaria Markus Söder signed an agreement to strengthen bilateral ties in renewable energy.

Mahmoud Esmat, Egypt’s Minister of Electricity and Renewable Energy, noted that this initiative aligns with the national strategy for producing low-carbon hydrogen as a vital energy source for the future. The agreement encloses various aspects of hydrogen trade, including identifying production capabilities, expanding logistics routes, and advancing technologies related to hydrogen production.

It also seeks to facilitate research and development in hydrogen production chains while utilizing renewable energy sources. Esmat noted that the cooperation would facilitate knowledge exchange and strengthen institutional ties, particularly through the chambers of commerce and business organizations in both regions.

Through this initiative, hydrogen producers in Egypt will be connected with technology providers in Bavaria and potential buyers in Germany.

Moreover, the parties agreed to establish a working group to coordinate efforts and prepare proposals. This group will facilitate discussions and meetings with relevant partners to prioritize and explore practical outcomes.

The Bavarian State Office at the German-Arab Chamber of Industry and Commerce in Cairo will oversee this coordination, with regular reviews scheduled, starting before the end of the year.
