Green Ammonia Corridor Planned as Berlin Expands Clean Energy Partnership with Riyadh
Germany and Saudi Arabia have signed a new memorandum of understanding to deepen cooperation in the energy sector, expanding on their earlier partnership focused on hydrogen. The agreement, signed by German Economy Minister Katherina Reiche during a visit to Saudi Arabia, aims to collaborate on carbon management, energy efficiency, digital transformation, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and building resilient energy supply chains. German officials described the move as taking the bilateral energy partnership to a new level.

As part of the visit, German firms EnBW and VNG, along with Saudi company Acwa, also agreed to develop a green ammonia export corridor. Under the plan, low-cost renewable energy in Saudi Arabia will be used to produce hydrogen, which will be converted into ammonia for easier transport and shipped to Germany’s port of Rostock.
The ammonia can either be used directly or converted back into hydrogen for industrial use and power generation, supporting Germany’s clean energy transition. While Germany expects to import most of its hydrogen needs, experts continue to stress the importance of boosting domestic production alongside imports.
