Egypt and Bavaria will work to boost cooperation in the field of hydrogen under a newly-inked declaration of intent, according to a statement. The two sides will exchange knowledge regarding the production capabilities, hydrogen technologies, market development, and R&D. They will also work to build relationships between Egyptian producers and German buyers.

There’s more cooperation in the pipeline: Egyptian Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly and Bavarian Premier Markus Söder held talks on collaboration between Egyptian and Bavarian companies in renewable energy, automotive manufacturing, and AI, according to a separate statement. The discussions, which included high level officials on both sides, focused on expanding investment, particularly in the Suez Canal Economic Zone.

REMEMBER- Germany, through its H2Global hydrogen initiative, inked a 20-year EUR397 mn green ammonia offtake agreement with UAE-based urea and ammonia exporter Fertiglobe back in July. The agreement will see Fertiglobe export 19.5k tons of green ammonia to Germany in 2027, potentially scaling up output to a cumulative 397k by 2033. Fertiglobe will produce the green ammonia at its Ain Sokhna plant in Egypt, which it is developing as part of a consortium comprising Scatec, the Sovereign Fund of Egypt, and Orascom Construction.
