They will collaborate efforts in four key areas of carbon capture utilisation and storage, hydrogen, small modular reactors (SMRs) and research and development to identify new innovative technologies to reach net zero by 2050.
The Chairman of DoE, Awaidha Murshed Al Marar, said: “The MoU signed today outlines our shared interests in innovation, diversification, clean technologies, economic advancement, and environmental sustainability in the energy sector.
The Premier of Saskatchewan, on behalf of Saskatchewan’s Ministry of Trade and Export Development, Scott Moe, said: “Saskatchewan has the food, the fertiliser, and the sustainable fuel this world needs and balancing economic opportunities for our province with maintaining a firm commitment to environmental protection measures is not only the right thing to do but it is good for our economy”.
Under the agreement, the two organisations will cooperate to share their knowledge and capabilities in the energy sector and will meet regularly to discuss developments and undertake key sustainable energy initiatives.
Specific activities include each partner hosting two meetings, technical workshops, or seminars per year, with a joint review on the progress of the schedule being reported to the two stakeholders’ senior management annually.
Ambassador of Canada to the UAE, Marcy Grossman, added: “Canada and the UAE have a long-standing energy relationship built on trade, investment, innovation and regulatory cooperation.
This MoU is an important milestone that will accelerate our countries’ shared vision to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.”
