Sudan and Brazil will cooperate in the oil and gas industry according to reports out of Brazil. The oil ministers from both countries will enter two MoUs for cooperation in energy. The first MoU was signed on November 5 and the second one will be signed this week, in Brasília, with Brazil’s Ministry of Mines and Energy.
The first MoU will remain in effect until the end of 2016 and provides that the two governments will cooperate in renewable energy; technical and technology-oriented training sugar and ethanol; cogeneration of energy and air conditioning using natural gas; biofuel, biogas and bioelectricity technologies; onshore natural gas production and exploration; and gas distribution. The MoU also covers experience exchange and mutual technical visits.
“We are signing this MoU whereby both parties will work and reap the results. It will pave the way for Sudan and Brazil to cooperate in several energy sectors,” Sudan’s Petroleum Minister Awad Al Jazz said.
