France and Saudi Arabia have placed hydrogen and electricity produced from low emission and renewable resources at the core of their respective energy transition. Both countries decided to join forces in the search for innovative solutions to produce hydrogen in the most effective and competitive way, and to develop its use in industry, mobility, power generation, buildings and other relevant applications.
To this end, France and Saudi Arabia agreed on a roadmap for hydrogen cooperation and electricity generated from renewable sources based on three areas.
- Technology development. This will develop hydrogen and electricity generation from renewable sources through technological deployment in production, transport, and conversion at demand centres.
- Business Cooperation. The agreement welcomes joint efforts between Saudi and French companies to partner in the entire energy supply chain.
- Policies and regulation. The roadmap will promote the development of the hydrogen industry through a mutual recognition of certification.
