Horlemann: Germany and Azerbaijan working on new green hydrogen project – EXCLUSIVE
Jun 06, 2026
Germany and Azerbaijan are preparing new projects to expand cooperation, including in the field of green hydrogen, Germany's Ambassador to Azerbaijan Ralph Horlemann told Report.
According to him, energy cooperation between the two countries is actively expanding and includes not only traditional areas but also new segments linked to the transition toward renewable energy sources.
He noted that, on the one hand, three German energy companies have begun purchasing Azerbaijani gas, which represents a very positive development in bilateral cooperation.
"On the other hand, SOCAR Green, the renewable energy division of SOCAR, has found a very strong partner in Germany. New cooperation projects are already being prepared, including in the field of green hydrogen," he said.
According to the ambassador, special emphasis is being placed on green hydrogen, which is seen as a key element of Europe's future energy transformation under policies aimed at reducing CO₂ emissions and gradually replacing natural gas with cleaner energy sources.
Horlemann also stressed that economic cooperation between Germany and Azerbaijan remains active, with a significant share of projects being implemented through the private sector, universities, and business structures, including joint educational and investment initiatives.
"Germany will also actively work across the entire territory of Azerbaijan, not only in Baku. German representatives are visiting cities and regions of the country and closely cooperating with various organizations, continuing to deepen bilateral relations, including in the economic sphere," the ambassador emphasized.
