Saudi Arabia and Japan to co-operate on crude exports and clean hydrogen – The National

Saudi Arabia, the world’s largest oil exporter, will continue its co-operation with Japan in areas such as crude exports and clean hydrogen, the kingdom’s energy minister has said.

Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman said that Saudi Arabia, which is responsible for 40 per cent of Japan’s oil imports, will ensure the security of supplies to the energy-starved Asian country, the official Saudi Press Agency reported on Sunday.

The minister also emphasised the need for joint co-operation between the two countries in the field of clean hydrogen and its applications, in addition to developing the infrastructure for “circular carbon economy” applications.
