Israel and Egypt today (Thursday) signed a joint memorandum of understanding in the field of gas.
As part of the memorandum, additional export options of natural gas from Israel to Egypt will be promoted, as fuel beyond reducing greenhouse gas and pollutant emissions in the region.
As part of the EMGF meeting in Cairo, the Egyptian Minister of Petroleum and Natural Resources, Engineer Tarek al-Mula, and the Minister of Energy of Israel, Karin Elharar, signed a joint memorandum of understanding to examine additional natural gas export options and future hydrogen exports.
This agreement comes against the background of fruitful and positive cooperation between the two countries on energy issues in recent years, since the establishment of the Middle East Gas Forum and throughout the forum's activities.
Natural gas is a transit fuel, paving the way for the transition to renewable energies and other clean energy sources.
Cooperation between the countries plays a significant role in reducing carbon emissions throughout the region, through the adoption of technological developments in the gas economy.
In recent months, a working group consisting of representatives from both sides has been exploring the possibility of increasing the amount of natural gas exported to Egypt.
A number of successful physical and virtual sessions have already been held over the past few months, in a series of sessions expected to follow.
