The 19th AEEP Energy Talks on 7 May 2025 will explore the potential of Green Hydrogen and its derivatives to support green industrialisation and deep decarbonisation of energy intensive industries. As the world strives towards achieving the Paris Agreement and net-zero emissions targets by 2050, new solutions are required to accelerate GHG mitigation efforts in “hard to decarbonize sectors” for instance transport (aviation, shipping) and heavy manufacturing industries (steel, chemicals) which cannot readily be electrified. Green hydrogen provides major opportunities and solutions in the form of e-fuels, energy carriers and feedstock to support green industrialisation.

On 26 January 2025, at the sidelines of the Africa Energy Summit where Mission 300 energy compacts were signed, the Africa-EU Energy Partnership (AEEP) organised a high-level dialogue to foster bicontinental partnership. The meeting, hosted in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, focused on “Scaling Energy Investments in Africa – Connecting the Dots to achieve SDG7 Targets”.
