The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Serbia will sign a memorandum of cooperation on hydrogen projects and further joint work in renewables. The signing of the memorandum between the UAE and Serbia was agreed upon in Abu Dhabi by Serbian Minister of Mining and Energy Dubravka Đedović and UAE Minister of Energy and Infrastructure Suhail Al-Mazrouei, according to a press release from the Serbian ministry.
The ministry said that the two countries are deepening their cooperation in the energy sector, and the next step will be to share their experience and know-how in using hydrogen as fuel. Đedović noted that hydrogen is the future fuel, providing cleaner energy with a smaller environmental footprint. The UAE, she said, has the know-how, developed technologies, and renewable energy companies already doing business in Serbia thanks to the friendly relations between the two countries. Đedović highlighted the Čibuk 1 wind farm as the most significant achievement in the cooperation between Serbia and UAE so far, and she announced that construction on Čibuk 2, with a capacity of 150 MW, will begin this year. She added that the cooperation would not end there since UAE companies are also interested in solar energy projects, an area where they have extensive experience.
Minister Suhail Al-Mazrouei said the ties between the two countries are based on “brotherly relations” and true friendship between their respective leaders. He acquainted Đedović with nuclear and renewables capacities developed by the UAE and the country’s plans for energy infrastructure development.
