Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources Tarek El Molla met with Hans-Joachim Polk, a member of the Board of Directors of the German VNG Group operating in the natural gas sector, infrastructure and green energies such as hydrogen, the ministry said in a statement.

The meeting discussed the possibility of cooperation between the petroleum sector and the German group, which expressed its aspiration to cooperate with Egypt in the fields of natural and liquefied gas and the infrastructure of the gas sector through the Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company (EGAS).

Moreover, the two sides reviewed cooperation in the fields of hydrogen production, highlighting that Egypt’s great experiences and capabilities in the gas sector motivate the company to cooperate with it, and that Egypt is one of the most important suppliers of liquefied natural gas in the region, and the company wants to open horizons for cooperation in this regard.
