For Romania, sustainable energy projects are particularly pertinent

Caspian Energy (CE): Dear Mr. Burduja, how do you assess the results of COP29 and what key outcomes from COP29 do you think will significantly impact Romania’s energy strategy in the coming years?

Sebastian Burduja, Minister of Energy of Romania: COP29 underscored the global commitment to accelerating the transition to clean energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. For Romania, the conference’s emphasis on regional cooperation and sustainable energy projects is particularly pertinent. The establishment of the joint venture company by Azerbaijan, Georgia, Romania, and Hungary to construct a submarine cable across the Black Sea is a testament to this commitment. This project aims to link planned renewable energy production in Azerbaijan to Europe, enhancing energy security and diversification. Such initiatives align with Romania’s strategic goals and will significantly influence our energy policies in the coming years.
