EU and Namibia strengthen energy cooperation The European Union (EU) commissioner for energy Kadri Simson announced a 25 million euro (N$494.6 million) contribution to leverage infrastructure investments in support of Namibia’s green hydrogen agenda at the Global African Hydrogen Summit. Two partnership deals, the EU 'Get Transformed' project and the institutional partnership on quality infrastructure between Germany's Federal ministry for economic affairs and climate action and the Namibian ministry of industrialisation and trade on green hydrogen quality infrastructure, were also signed. In addition, support for the Namibia Green Hydrogen Programme by the government of the Netherlands was also announced.

ReBuild Ukraine Svitlana Andrushchenko, Recovery and Reform Support Team Director, at the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine: As we face the unique challenges of war and recovery, international cooperation and private investment play a crucial role in Ukraine’s energy transition and low-carbon development. Through reforms, such as aligning with the European Union’s energy integration and corporate governance standards, we are creating the foundation for a brighter, sustainable future for Ukraine’s energy sector. Together, with the support of our international partners and the exchange of insights and solutions, we will build a resilient energy future for Ukraine, Europe, and the world. Supported by EBRD Ukraine MDA.

On June 25, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine approved the National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) for the period up to 2030. This is important because the NECP's adoption defines the government's priorities in energy and climate policy, serving as a blueprint for Ukraine's green reconstruction and stimulating international assistance. Ongoing attacks on infrastructure emphasize the need to monitor the Plan's implementation and adapt to changing circumstances. The main goals of the NECP are:  - reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 65% compared to 1990 levels;  - achieving a 27% share of renewable energy sources in total final energy consumption;  - deepening the diversification of energy sources and supply routes - no more than 30% from a single supplier. The Energy Act for Ukraine Foundation recognizes the importance of expanding the impact of alternative energy on climate change, helping to reduce emissions and ensure energy stability.  Therefore, we continue to install solar hybrid power plants in schools and hospitals in Ukraine 🇺🇦

The Norwegian mission to the EU has representatives from nearly all Norwegian ministries. Among other engagements they identify at the earliest stage possible issues related to the EEA and Schengen cooperation that are of political or economic importance to Norway. They safeguard Norwegian interests in negotiations and work closely with the EU institutions. The Mission is also an important center of expertise on EU and EEA affairs. This is some reasons why Asgeir Tomasgard and I met the Counsellor for Energy Ragnar Semundseth to present the NTNU Energy Transition Initiative (NETI) and our aim to provide knowledge based strategic advise to industry and society in the energy transition. Thanks for good discussions and ideas for further collaboration. #energy #ntnugreenshifters #transition #engage #knowledge #research NTNU Energy, NTNU Energy Transition Initiative (NETI), Mission of Norway to the EU

Today we published what we have accomplished with REPowerEU, our plan to address the impact of Russia’s war on Ukraine in energy. It would have not been possible without the #RRF: a facility that allocates more than EUR 184bn to energy measures to accelerate the green transition, diversify our energy sources and reduce our independence from Russian fossil fuels.

It's great to be back at the German-African Energy Forum by Afrika-Verein der deutschen Wirtschaft (German - African Business Association) in my hometown, Hamburg! Amid Germany's decoupling from Russian energy sources, climate change and shifting geopolitical landscapes, I look forward to understanding the future trajectory of African-German energy cooperation. Germany has been pushing for the further development of green hydrogen projects in African countries (a very large hydrogen port hub is under construction in Hamburg). Many African governments are predominantly concerned with energy security. Will these two positions work together? #energyafrica24 #energy #Germany #geopolitics

„In the geopolitics of the global energy transformation, Kazakhstan’s enormous wind and solar potential – coupled with land availability and rich reserves of critical raw materials – represent a strong strategic advantage. Renewables can supply low-cost power to the growing population, bolster energy security and reduce power imports, help decarbonise industry and transport, and attract foreign investment. For a fossil-dependent economy like Kazakhstan, harnessing these benefits is essential for adapting to the decarbonising global economy and contributing to global climate action.“ 🇰🇿 What makes Kazakhstan an „energy pioneer“ in the geographical context of Central Asia? And what are some of the challenges and difficult political choices to be made in the coming years and decades in order to navigate the energy transition, given the country’s current reliance on fossil fuels?

„Germany aims to boost hydrogen cooperation“ Interview with German State Secretary Jochen Flasbarth of Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) on the sidelines of the Global African Hydrogen Summit in Namibia, outlining the German Cooperation approach to supporting an African green Hydrogen market, energy equity and universal access to electricity produced with renewable resources (wind & sun), the creation of local value chains and green industrialization in African countries. A win-win for countries in Africa and in Europe. #GermanCooperation #GreenHydrogen #TeamEurope
