EDITED BY : MAYURAKSHI GANGULY 2MINS READ

Germany is extremely active on topics regarding green energy production or the transition to renewable energy. Olaf Scholz, who replaced Angela Merkel in becoming the German Chancellor, on December 1, declared the introduction of a global club to aid interested nations to invest in and develop green energy solutions for heavy industries like steel, cement, and aluminium.

During the United Nations COP28 climate summit in Dubai, Olaf Scholz announced the formation of the Climate Club, which currently has 36 members. The club's primary objective is to expedite the technical groundwork for a standardised calculation of CO2 intensity in selected products.

 Additionally, the club aims to launch an exchange that defines near-zero emissions for cement, steel and aluminium. Scholz also stated that the club will establish a platform to match members' needs with technical and financing instruments from the private and public sectors.

"This will not only send much-needed investment signals to our domestic industries but will also provide orientation for other countries," The Chancellor pointed out.

This year, the German Chancellor visited India twice which resulted in the cooperation of the two countries on green energy and climate conservation. Both countries have agreed to cooperate on successful green hydrogen production. The deal was extended to the point where a provision of sending Indian labourers in times of workforce shortage in Germany was also discussed.

Germany and India are currently in talks to reach an agreement on sharing military intelligence. Additionally, ThyssenKrupp, a German defence company specialising in aluminium alloy component production, is showing interest in the Indian defence market. The company has partnered with Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders, an Indian firm, to bid for a contract to construct submarines for the Indian Navy.
