DOHA: Qatar and the United States yesterday signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on cooperation in the field of renewable and alternative energy technology.
The Deputy Premier and Minister of Energy and Industry, H E Abdullah bin Hamad Al Attiyah, and Dr Steven Chu, the US Secretary of Energy, signed the MoU.
The MoU acknowledges the strategic importance of promoting energy security through diverse energy sources and types, improving cooperation in renewable and alternative energy partnerships, economic growth through clean energy, and reducing global greenhouse gas emissions.
The signing of the MoU between Qatar and the US demonstrates a joint commitment to facing a number of energy technology, sustainability and conservation challenges facing the world today.
The MoU anticipates opportunities for joint investment in energy technologies such as photovoltaic technologies, co-generation of electricity from hot water from oil production and other applications of solar and geothermal technologies, as well as biomass and biofuel research.
Al Attiyah said the bilateral activities will reinforce and complement joint efforts to achieve shared energy and climate change goals while strengthening the long-standing ties between Qatar and the US.
