The energy giants will join forces to pursue investments in hydrogen solutions.

They signed the collaboration agreement on the sidelines of the UK government’s Global Investment Summit. It was hosted by the Queen and the Prime Minister.

The partners will target integrated and scalable opportunities in key sectors where hydrogen could help decarbonize. This is especially the case with industrial cluster development and also concerns the transport sector.

The collaboration is to feed on both parties’ expertise in delivering large and complex energy projects.
