India, Belgium sign MoU for renewable energy cooperation
India and Belgium signed a Memorandum of Understanding to expand clean energy cooperation across key sectors including green hydrogen, offshore wind, and critical minerals. The pact aims to boost decarbonization, strengthen energy security, and scale up joint technology initiatives.
On Wednesday, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to bolster renewable energy cooperation and clean technology between their nations. The agreement, which targets sectors like green hydrogen, offshore wind, and critical mineral recycling, was signed during De Wever's three-day visit to India.
Both governments aim to accelerate decarbonization efforts and enhance industrial supply chains through this partnership. India's emphasis on secure supply chains and clean energy transition aligns with Belgium's strategic priorities, with potential for growth in joint ventures, particularly in green ammonia and defense manufacturing.
The MoU builds on a decade of climate dialogue, expanding joint initiatives to include advanced energy storage, bioenergy, and pumped hydro systems.
