Saudi ACWA Power, Germany’s SEFE Cooperate on Green Hydrogen Production and Export

Saudi ACWA Power, Germany’s SEFE Cooperate on Green Hydrogen Production and Export

Saudi Minister of Energy Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman bin Abdulaziz met in Riyadh on Monday with German Minister of Finance Jörg Kukies to discuss key topics of mutual interest in the energy sector, including efforts related to clean hydrogen, building on the memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed by both sides in 2021.

Following the meeting, the two ministers witnessed the signing of the "Saudi-German Green Hydrogen Bridge" MoU between ACWA Power and SEFE, aimed at producing and exporting green hydrogen and ammonia from Saudi Arabia to Europe.
Under the MoU, ACWA Power and SEFE will jointly develop projects with an initial target of exporting 200,000 tons of green hydrogen annually from Saudi Arabia to Europe by 2030. ACWA Power will serve as the developer, investor, and primary operator of production assets, while SEFE, a major European energy company, will act as a co-investor and primary off-taker, responsible for marketing the hydrogen across Germany and Europe.
This step supports Saudi Arabia's efforts to solidify its position as a leading producer and exporter of green hydrogen and aligns with the goals of the MoU signed under the Saudi-German Energy Dialogue to strengthen cooperation in renewable energy and clean hydrogen technologies.

Peru's economy grew 4.07% in the first month of 2025, data from the nation's INEI statistics agency showed on Saturday, in line with central bank and analysts' forecasts, as nearly all sectors logged growth with the exception of the financial sector.

The January data landed a touch above the 4% estimate of analysts polled by Reuters, but below the 4.85% recorded in last month of last year.

The Andean nation's key mining and energy sector advanced 1.4%, while farming and the smaller fishing sector advanced 3.2% and 23.5% respectively.

Manufacturing industry expanded by 5.5% and transportation up 7.9%, while public administration and defense and construction both logged growth of over 4%.

The financial sector contracted 0.35% as commercial banks issued fewer loans.

In a call on Friday, the top economist at Peru's central bank had said that economic activity was developing better than expected, as the economy bounced back from a recession it entered in 2023.

The bank predicted a limited impact from US tariffs, saying Peru's agricultural produce complemented North American supplies when they are not able to produce locally for seasonal reasons, and copper exports can be sold to many other markets.

Late last month, Peru's economy minister predicted the economy would expand 4% this year - up from 3.3% growth in 2024 and a 0.4% contraction a year earlier - ranking it among the fastest-growing economies in Latin America.
