In Uruguay, Mercopress reported that Uruguayan President Luis Lacalle Pou signed a Memorandum of Understanding on cooperation in renewable energies, energy efficiency, and green hydrogen with the European Union to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
Lacalle Pou signed the deal on behalf of the South American country and European Commission President Ursula Von der Leyen did it on behalf of the EU.
“The EU and Uruguay share the ambition to increase the use of renewable energy sources, in line with our ambitious climate goals. We are aligned on the need for a rules-based, transparent, and undistorted global hydrogen market,” Von der Leyen said.
“With this signature, negotiations on renewable energies are successfully concluded. The instrument will consolidate the progress made to consolidate Uruguay as a supplier of green hydrogen and the establishment of a common framework that will provide fluidity for this trade,” Uruguay’s Foreign Ministry Francisco Bustillo said.
