Ukraine, Germany agree to deepen cooperation on decarbonization

The relevant issue was discussed at a meeting of Deputy Energy Minister of Ukraine for European Integration Yaroslav Demchenkov with Jürgen Keinhorst, a representative of the German Federal Ministry of the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety, Ukrinform reports, referring to the Energy Ministry’s press service.

“The parties discussed the continuation of cooperation between Ukraine and Germany as part of the Ukrainian-German energy partnership. During the meeting, the parties agreed to continue deepening cooperation, in particular in the field of decarbonizing energy and implementing the project Low Carbon Ukraine,” reads the report.

It is noted that for the Energy Ministry, it is important to accelerate the energy transition and achieve success in decarbonization of the energy sector within 10-15 years.

“We have already launched projects that will help reduce carbon emissions, and we appreciate the support of the German government in implementing such projects and look forward to effective cooperation,” said Demchenkov.

As reported, in November 2021, Ukraine joined the Net Zero World initiative, which will help get access to the expertise of the U.S. Department of Energy for the possible implementation of pilot projects on decarbonization.
