(MENAFN- Trend News Agency)
BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 6. Azerbaijan quickly
met Europe's green energy needs with a corridor project to transmit
wind energy from the Caspian shelf to Romania and surrounding
nations across the Black Sea, WindEurope CEO Giles Dickson said,
Trend reports.
He made the remark during a panel discussion at the Baku Energy
Forum in Azerbaijan on June 5.
Green energy is much needed by European businesses, he
claims.
“Companies in the EU aim to find a solution to decarbonization,
progressively give up fossil fuels, and move businesses to
renewable energy. However, the EU now lacks sufficient renewable
energy sources for this. The EU so wishes to import green energy,
especially from Azerbaijan,” Dickson added.
To note, over 600 delegates are participating in the forum,
which began on June 5, representing a diverse range of countries
including Australia, Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Bulgaria, China,
the Czech Republic, Finland, France, Georgia, Hungary, India,
Israel, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Monaco, the Netherlands,
Norway, UAE, Qatar, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Slovenia,
Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, the UK, the US, and Uzbekistan. This
year's forum boasts a record number of speakers, totaling 81.
The Forum's agenda addresses energy issues of significance for
Azerbaijan and the broader Caspian region, focusing primarily on
considerations and financing related to energy security, energy
transition, and green energy projects.
