Japanese Prime Minister Lays Foundations for Hydrogen Supply

The visit of Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida to the Middle East last week resulted in a series of agreements to prepare feasibility studies, hoping that Japan would encourage key countries in the region to become partners in hydrogen production. The tour seems to have achieved its declared goal of enhancing cooperation in the field of green and renewable energy. Gulf countries are seen as a favorable center for green energy production due to the low costs of generating electricity from solar energy. One of the most significant agreements is a Japanese-Saudi initiative named "Manar," which aims to develop clean energy projects related to areas such as hydrogen, ammonia, and carbon recycling.
