Cooperation with Germany in the field of green energy was discussed

Azerbaijan’s Minister of Energy Parviz Shahbazov met with Michael Harms, Chairman of the Eastern Committee of the German Economy, to discuss prospects for energy partnership.

During the meeting, discussions were held on German policy of diversification in the field of energy, ensuring competitive prices and strengthening the fight against climate change, as well as partnership within the framework of Azerbaijan's course on the development of renewable energy sources and energy efficiency. German companies are planning to collaborate on nearly 20 projects in Azerbaijan, some of which pertain to the energy sector. The discussions covered small-scale renewable energy projects, energy efficiency measures, energy demand management, offshore wind development, the Caspian-Black Sea-Europe Green Energy Corridor, and green energy supply. The next phase of the Green Energy Corridor, currently linking Azerbaijan, Georgia, the Black Sea, and Eastern European countries, will incorporate the transportation of green hydrogen. The corridor’s export capacity could support Germany’s future energy needs.

The meeting also addressed the development of green energy interconnectors, global advancements in green technologies, and the growth of the hydrogen industry.
