The Union for the Mediterranean will celebrate "Mediterranean Day" for the first time on November 28, 2021. There are various problems and worries surrounding the European Union's activity in the Mediterranean region, but the energy sector emerges as the most important common topic that can serve as a factor of convergence or, in the event of failure, a factor of conflict.
There isn't a single meeting, conference, or gathering around the world today that doesn't include hydrogen's enormous potential role in the green global energy transition. Perhaps this "surge" of interest in hydrogen's importance, particularly in the Mediterranean, originates from the challenging concerns that scientists throughout the world are grappling with today: How can electricity systems achieve 100 percent renewable energy when they are unable to maintain grid stability, even with renewable energy rates that occasionally do not surpass 30%?
The European Green Deal's star shone brightly in the sky of worldwide discussions about the Green Global Energy Transition, until it became a badge worn by Europeans in their numerous meetings with world leaders, particularly with American authorities actively involved in climate change. Change There is no doubt that the European Union, through the Green Agreement, has imposed a "clear" trend that has resulted in the establishment of a massive dynamic surrounding hydrogen technology, not only in European Union countries, but also around the world, particularly in the Mediterranean region.
And as the world rushes to develop hydrogen technologies in all their colors - green from renewable energy sources, blue from natural gas sources or others with carbon capture and storage systems, gray and yellow, and others - the question of Lebanon's role in this race to protect it from the evil of deep slumber remains unanswered. How's it doing with the awakening?
