نبذة عنا
Throughout history, the East Mediterranean Region has played a prominent role helping shape our modern world today. Located at the crossroads of three continents -Africa, Asia and Europe– has made it essential for trade and key to culture for millennia. Over the last decade, many significant gas discoveries have been made in the Eastern Mediterranean. Recognizing the vast resource prospects, opportunities and challenges, it was clear that the full potential of the Eastern Mediterranean gas basin can only be unlocked if suppliers, buyers and transit countries in the East Med region cooperate on developing an infrastructure for gas trade within the region and with external markets. This outline was the base underpinning the establishment of the East Mediterranean Gas Forum “EMGF” as a platform for Gas producer, consumer and transit countries. In 2018, Egypt introduced an Initiative to establish the East Mediterranean Gas Forum as a platform for structured policy dialogue on natural gas, leading to the development of a sustainable regional gas market that could unlock the full gas resource potential in the East Mediterranean region. During the tripartite summit held in October 2018 in Crete, Leaders of Egypt, Cyprus and Greece declared their intentions to establish the Forum, accordingly, further coordination with regional parties and international organizations took place. The Egyptian initiative was welcomed and sincerely adopted by the rest of the Founding Members; Cyprus, Greece, Israel, Italy, Jordan and Palestine (together with Egypt) as an initiative that sets the base for a structured policy dialogue leading to the development of a regional gas market to unlock the full gas resource potential and to set the stage for multilateral and full hub trade. In 2021, France joined the EMGF as a Member Country, the United States of America, the European Union and the World Bank joined the Forum as observers.

"EMGF has been acting as an inter-connector between governments, regulators and even scientific institution and its 8 Member countries are complimented by a dynamic Gas Industry Advisory Committee" "The participation of these different stakeholders in today’s event confirms the importance of B2B relationships in keeping the promise of EMGF vision for a prosperous #energy #cooperation in the region, and as we see some member countries are already benefiting from such synergetic initiatives and could play a major role in assisting the EU to achieve its own strategic objectives of energy #diversification." Said H.E. Mr. Theodoros Skylakakis- Minister of Environment and Energy Hellenic Republic during his welcoming remarks in the EMGF event in Athens titled “Harnessing the Potential for Clean Energy Cooperation in the East Med”

Last week, I had the honor of speaking at the East Mediterranean Gas Forum - EMGF Event in Athens. Coorganized by EMGF and the Hellenic Ministry of Environment and Energy, the event focused on Clean Energy cooperation in the East Mediterranean. During the panel on CCS, I shared Wintershall Dea's perspective on replicating our recent CCS developments in Northern Europe in the East Med Regions. At a round table with the participation of ministries representatives from East Med governments, I emphasized the importance of balancing Energy Security with Energy Transition objectives. Moreover, it was my pleasure to meet and engage in discussions with H.E. Alexandra Sdoukou, Deputy Minister of Environment and Energy in Greece during the event. #CCS #EMGF #Energysecurity #Greece

Intense #engagement last week (in three languages 😉)! Started in #Athens for the East Mediterranean Gas Forum - EMGF with a good discussion on the potential to better link and developd an important region with diverse needs. Thanks to Osama Mobarez and all who gave their valuable contribution. Then in #Madrid for the 50th anniversary of Sedigas - Asociación Española del Gas, where all recognized that #gas in its different declinations and technologies will be an essential part of any #energyfuture. It was great to meet with Joan Batalla Bejerano, Naiara Ortiz de Mendíbil Romo and all the #Spanish members, many also part of the International Gas Union. #enhorabuena And finally, back to #Italy for an industry technical deep-dive with some of the excellences of our country in the sector at the PIPELINE & GAS EXPO, under the excellent organization by FABIO POTESTA'. Happy for the important experiences shared by Andrea Scuderi, Bonatti and by Paolo Zoni, Sicim that demontrate how profound knowh-how, creativity and passion for success can overcome any challenge. Looking forward to next steps to sharing the positive role of gas in delivering energy #security, promote #economic development and sustain #emissions reduction.

Honored to moderate a panel on #CCS at the recent East Mediterranean Gas Forum - EMGF Event, held in Athens. The event, coorganized by EMGF and the Hellenic Ministry of Environment and Energy, celebrated the Greek Presidency of the Forum with a rich agenda highlighting the key energy topics of the region : #decarbonisation, #hydrocarbons, #CCS, #Hydrogen. At the panel on Carbon Capture and Storage, the highly accomplished participants shared insights on how to develop the CCS #valuechain and increase #investments in the East Med region. Specifically: Aristofanis (Aris) Stefatos of Hellenic Hydrocarbons and Energy Resources Management Company (HEREMA S.A.) gave a bird's-eye view of Greece's progress on #CCSTechnology and described HEREMA's priorities and initiatives to further develop the sector in Greece and beyond Sameh Sabry of Wintershall Dea reported on recent CCS developments in Northern Europe and commented on replicating this success in the SEE and East Med Regions. Tassos Vlassopoulos of HELLENiQ ENERGY explained the Group's plans and progress in this crucial decarbonization technology. Michael Thomadakis of DESFA described the TSO's plans to optimize the mid-stream segment of the #CarbonCapture value chain with their well-designed and cost-effective solution called "Project Apollo". Katerina Sardi of Energean presented the latest on the Prinos storage site and gave a clear view of the next steps in developing carbon storage in the region. The discussion's tone was certainly optimistic, given Greece's "rapid progress" in the sector (as one recent Report puts it), driven by the fact that more than 3/4 of a billion € of #EU funds have already been approved for investments in the Greek CCS value chain. Be that as it may, the main regional challenge of identifying and developing more storage sites that will be able to accommodate more industrial emissions produced in Southeastern Europe and East Med was repeatedly brought up. The need for countries in the region to work more closely together, particularly within the framework of EMGF, towards adapting regulations, sharing knowledge and establishing partnerships in order to have faster regional progress on CCS was agreed upon as a key takeaway of the discussion.
