RIYADH: The Circular Economy Forum has highlighted opportunities for collaboration on sustainable environmental solutions — not only between Estonia and Saudi Arabia, but also with Nordic countries that lead in the field.

Estonian Energy and Environment Minister Andres Sutt told Arab News on Tuesday this was undoubtedly the case after a meeting with the Saudi Investment Recycling Company.

He said the technology he had seen had been world class, noting that there were many areas to connect innovations in the circular economy sector.

Sutt said: “We have certain interests and we have actually (had) very good conversations (at CEF25) about the green hydrogen market. Estonian companies like Stargate Hydrogen, who are doing high-efficiency alkaline electrolyzers, are interested to be present here.”

Stargate Hydrogen, an Estonia-based green hydrogen technology firm, is expanding globally and positioning itself as a key supplier for industrial decarbonization worldwide, including through a new headquarters in Riyadh and a partnership with RDI (Research, Development and Innovation) in Saudi Arabia.
