The production and use of hydrogen, as an important part of the green transition in the world, is one of the important elements of the strategic partnership between Azerbaijan and the European Union, Azerbaijan's Minister of Energy Parviz Shahbazov said at the 2nd annual summit on green hydrogen in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
He noted that Azerbaijan has already included the issue of developing hydrogen production in various development strategy documents.
The Main Strategy for the socio-economic development of the country also includes the development of the hydrogen industry and its use both within the country and for export, the minister said.
He added that Azerbaijan has also declared the green energy zone in the recently liberated territories, where, among other things, hydrogen will be produced.
According to the minister, there is great potential in the Caspian Sea for energy production from wind, it amounts to about 157 GW, and this is a huge volume that is in demand in Azerbaijan, but greatly exceeds its needs.
Therefore, Azerbaijan is intensively cooperating with European countries to also produce, among other things, green hydrogen using wind energy with the possibility of further exporting it to the European market, Shahbazov said.
